Are you a Neocon?

Try out the Neocon Quiz at The Christian Science Monitor.

According to the quiz I am a realist:

Realists…

1) Are guided more by practical considerations than ideological vision
2) Believe US power is crucial to successful diplomacy - and vice versa
3) Don't want US policy options unduly limited by world opinion or ethical considerations
4) Believe strong alliances are important to US interests
5) Weigh the political costs of foreign action
6) Believe foreign intervention must be dictated by compelling national interest

Historical realist: President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Modern realist: Secretary of State Colin Powell
Sounds about right to me.
