The neocon revolution

US unilateralism was a means of breaking the old order. Now it is
building new alliances

With any new political phenomenon, there is always a tendency to
underestimate its novelty and treat it as some kind of short-term
aberration. I vividly recall how long it took commentators and
analysts, on the right and left, to recognise that Thatcherism was
something quite new and here to stay. Similar doubts greeted the Bush
administration and the neocon revolution: its novelty would be
short-lived, it would not last and it was just not viable. It is always
hard to imagine a new kind of world, easier to think of the future as
an extension of the past, and difficult to comprehend a paradigm shift
and grasp a new kind of logic.
