Republican donors are being feted at the Blackwater training facility in North Carolina.

The long-term effects of neoconservatism are dead Americans, insecurity, and mercenary contractors all over the place. The Republicans don’t seem willing to purge this element from their ranks — in fact, they are eager to embrace it.
