Neo-Cons, having declared history’s end, try to reclaim the past

Having declared that History ended around 1989, it seems that some neo-conservatives are keen also to reclaim aspects of History as ‘their’ achievement. In particular, it was claimed by a prominent scholar that the Marshall Plan, among other postwar US foreign policies, was a “quintessentially neo-conservative” policy. This was at a recent (excellent) conference of the BISA US Foreign Policy Group at Leeds University.
