A '''neoconservative''' (colloquially, ''neocon'') is a former liberal turned conservative.  Neoconservatives believe that democracy can and should be installed around the world, even in Muslim countries such as Iraq, [[Iran]], and [[Saudi Arabia]].  Neoconservatives were hugely influential in the administration of President [[George W. Bush]], and have lobbied to invade Iraq, and for military action against [[Iran]].  Neo-conservatism is characterized by an [[idealist]]ic belief in [[social progress]] and the universality of [[human rights]], coupled with intense anti-Communism; it is based on the view that "there is a universal hunger for liberty in all people that will inevitably lead them to liberal democracy".
