Leo Strauss
If you want to know how the Neocons started, it began with Leo Strauss (1899-1973). Yes, that insidious Cabal that controls our Foreign Policy in America, started with a University of Chicago professor, who enjoyed watching The Gunsmoke TV Series. Just when it seemed that this Man's Ideas were going to die in obscurity, Irving Kristol decided to become his Disciple. The Neocon Movement then began to spread it's tentacles, and hasn't looked back since. Their Political Philosophy can be summed up in one word: Deception.

You are correct that some Conservatives don't usually like to send our troops overseas to fight in senseless wars. However, more of these types of Conservatives need to stand up and make their voices heard.
With regards to the Gannon/Guckert Issue, we need to explain how this fake reporter, working for a Republican Party Front, was able to destroy whatever remained of Journalistic Ethics, at The White House. Not only that, Gannon/Guckert was working in Coordination with Republican Operatives to discredit Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle. Finally some Democrats woke up and fought back against Gannon/Guckert when he once he started spreading falsehoods against the new Senate Minority Leader, Harry Reid.
There are a couple of books by Strauss at my university's bookstore. I haven't read any of them, and I've forgotten most of the skimming I did one time. What I remember thinking is "this guy is some sort of intellectual Ann Coulter" because the books all dealt with "liberal culture" or somesuch concept.
Interestingly enough, a number of neoconservative intellectuals these days seem to be former Vietnam War protesters (e.g. David Horowitz).
I am by no means an expert on Leo Strauss, but those who have studied him, without having their minds completely warped, say that his philosophies are based on The Ruling Class having the right to deceive the rest of us. It seems that Mr. Strauss after witnessing the destruction of Weimar Germany, at the hands of the Nazi's, became mentally disturbed. Instead of drawing valuable lessons from horrors of Nazi Germany, he came to the U.S., and from his position as a College Professor, began to spread his own version of Fascism. Will write more later, on this subject.
