Is it a Neocon New Neo-Colonialism in the Middle East?...............

“"We need to do everything possible to destabilise the Syrian regime and exploit every single moment they strategically overstep," said David Wurmser, who recently resigned after four years as Vice President Dick Cheney's Middle East adviser. "That would include the willingness to escalate as far as we need to go to topple the regime if necessary." He said that an end to Baathist rule in Damascus could trigger a domino effect that would then bring down the Teheran regime. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the first since he left government, he argued that the United States had to be prepared to attack both Syria and Iran to prevent the spread of Islamic fundamentalism and nuclear proliferation in the Middle East that could result in a much wider war..............”

This idiotic neocon talks the talk, like all the neocons do, but he is never personally willing to walk the walk. People like him, and Dick Cheney, and John Bolton and other right-wingers (and a few on the other side) would do their best, did their best, to avoid serving in the military especially at wartime. Yet they are eager to send other people's sons and daughters as cannon fodder in a war of choice against a country that has never invaded anyone in recent history. They are a throwback to the old colonial days when Western powers could decide the fate of other “native” peoples. Like the old colonialists they think they have some God-given right to dictate to other nations in faraway lands.
