True conservatives were against the war. Say > "neocons". Oh, we're both totally in agreement with that. However, I'm not sure the difference between conservatives and neoconservatives is one with much distinction ever since the McCarthy backlash took the wind out of it's sails. Following that, the conservatives did what was left of themselves in by towing the line with the Neoconservatives when they started taking over starting with Nixon, and especially with Reagan. Lincoln certainly wouldn't recognize his own party in this day and age. -- Paul Johnson baloo@ursine.ca
