Neo-Con bullshit.
Oh, yes...however could I have forgotten that Adam Smith was a Neo-Con?
You may surely find folks here on USMB who agree with you. I doubt, however, that the overwhelming majority of them, likely having little to no idea of the similarities and differences among the ideas of Strauss, Wolfowitz, Jackson and Kirkpatrick, would as likely choose "none of the above" as "all of the above" were they asked "Which of the following played a central role in catalyzing and developing Neoconservative ideology" and the available offerings be Powell, Podhoretz, Marcuse, Kirkpatrick, and Bush I & II/Cheney.
Remarks like yours that I've quoted above may play well with such folks, but to me, it's puerile pandering like that, not the economic underpinnings, prudence and practicality of free trade, which of BS issue and be.
The fact that you quote the pompous ass William F Buckley belies your myopic view modern day Oligarchic Capitalism.
So you pontificate, Holy Father.
Interesting...you post War & Peace and I'M pontificating?
Yes, you are, because, like the Pontiff, you only make pronouncements and tacitly demand, on the force of your uttering, them that others accept them.
And the current version of Free Trade is only truly working for about 2% of the US and even fewer for India and China.
