How do you see Cheney's personality change. He was always what is called a Neocon. During the Cold War that meant , among other things, a politician who supported a very robust US military and a strongly confrontive anticommunist foreign policy. With the abrupt end of the Cold War and the USSR these people became a classic example of searching for a new rationale for the policies that did help end the USSR but also very much helped K Street. Hence the ‘national Grandeur’ movement that led first to the Balkan imbroglios and then after 9-11 ‘the Global Democracy Initiative’ which led to Iraq and an interminable ‘nation building’ exercise in Afghanistan. As their initiatives have become disasters the Neos just double down as their masters need more ‘police actions’ and ‘nation building’ exercises. So what is new here?

It sounds good to me. Without the sarcasm.
