Honestly the hypocrisy and arrogance of the neocon worldview is sickening.

It is an evil ideology. Sending our soldiers overseas to either die or come home screwed up in the head, all to protect American interests abroad or spread democracy, is as morally bankrupt a philosphy as there is.

One of the earliest neocons was Irving Kristol, Bill Kristol's father. He was a Trotskyist in his college days at CCNY, along with other future neocons. The "permanent revolution" aspect of Trotsky's philosophy seems to have carried over to neoconservatism, as there's is one of perpetual war to spread democracy and American ideology, even where it was not wanted.
