The idea of 'neo-cons'
Abdul Quader Chowdhury, Montreal, Canada
In modern political science concepts, there is no generally accepted definition of the words 'neo-cons' which have widely been used in the western hemisphere since before the 9/11. In the aftermath of the 9/11, the liberals and anti-war activists frequently used this term to mean explicitly the idea and actions of "ultra-conservatism" in the American politics specifically. Without arguments, one could put the meaning, what is meant by them, in a straight expression like -- "fundamental nationalism + fundamental religious-ethnicity + militarism = neo-cons". The term 'neo-con' does never mean something as "converted conservatives." Adapting the 'neo-con's typical meaning in the case of Bangladeshi phenomenon in a personalised fashion is a mismatch.
