Is it?  When I think of neo-liberal, I think of Thomas Freidman.

Bingo.

Tom Friedman is a huge neo-liberal.

Friedman and the addled crew at The New Republic are the original American neo-liberals.

And I'd amend this:

Well in the US the term neo-liberal is starting to mean those who were against Bush and the invasion of Iraq

to:

Well in the US the term neo-liberal is starting to mean those who claim now to have been against Bush and the invasion of Iraq but actually back in 2002 and 2003 were lapdog supporters who excoriated the anti-war left as Chamberlainite appeasers.
