Rarely in the history of American politics has a small number of bookish intellectuals had so much influence on foreign policy as the neo-cons had under Bush and his vice president, Dick Cheney, neither of whom are noted for their deep intellectual interests.
Qu’un petit groupe d’intellectuels au-dessus des contingences comme ces néo-conservateurs, ait exercé une telle influence sur la politique étrangère, c’est chose rare dans l’histoire de la politique américaine.
