Neoconservatism schism from the top?

[Egeides]

It seems interesting: a neocon potential schism from the intellectual top rather than disconnection from a part of the bottom. Fukuyama, from the neoconservative intelligentsia, is actually changing his point of view a bit. He's never been a hardline neoconservative apparently, but now he really said he wont vote for Bush, with his reasons: going to Iraq was an error, it wont bring democracy neither a domino effect on neighbours. There's some intellectual and ideological geography here (he is opposed to Huntington, where both are opposed to left...) but also, we see that when one of these intellectual leaders move, so does people below, which influence people below, which... It's pretty interesting to look at such maps and it is well-drawn and in direct here. I would be pretty interested into something about an ideological map of major guys as a network (anyone have seen such a thing?).

I just resumed a little bit, but the whole thing is here:

There's a bit of recent Fukuyama material here (articles found by Google):
