ABSTRACT

The history of the neoconservatives goes back more than half a century and has little to do with a simple post-9/11 phenomenon. In the White House and among the Washington-based neoconservative think tanks, we adhere to the analysis according to which, due to previous Presidents, particularly Nixon and Carter, Moscow had dangerous military superiority over the land of freedom. The chapter sees two main causes for the coming back to power of the neoconservatives through the first American administration of the 21st century. The Christian Right entered into politics through their support for the most radical groups and were violently opposed to the Democrats, particularly during the Clinton years. The influence of the Christians often helps sway Presidential decisions in favor of the neoconservatives when the Bush Administration criticized the assassination attempt by Israel on Rantissi, the number two of Hamas, in June 2003, the neoconservatives protested, but it was the Christians who managed to overturn the situation.
