I can only guess that the Neocons chose to support the lesser of two evils in this time period,

Um, no. Empires don't do "lesser of two evils." They do "out son-of-a-bitch."

It is almost impossible to name a prominent Neocon who is not a strong Israelophile

What do you base that on? What they say for public consumption?

Neocons are Likudniks, pure and simple, from Perle on down, as evident in A Clean Break.

You keep referring to that paper, but I still don't think it says what you think it says. I've seen substantially the same sort of garbage pushed to Europeans (if you swap out Iraq and Jordan with Russia and Ukraine), and it's quite obvious that the neocons are not Europhiles.
