Let this be a kind of postscript to the Blogswarm post of the 5th anniversary of the beginning of the Iraqui-American War, to which there is no end in sight.

Did that possibility ever occur to the American neocons? Do they even care?

If the majority of neocons were Christian, then the question might be relevant! And of course they didn't care.
