Neocons want big govt overseas?? I'm not sure where you got that idea. They realize we are in a global economy which might ruffle the feathers of the Pat Buchananites, but the economy is what it is.

The neocons won't cede any sovereignty to overseas govts or corps which is what I infer from your post.
Yes, the neocons want to engage in nation-building overseas. But more importantly, neocons, along with leftists, see the State as a quasi-Messiah. If I can find it, a neocon at the 2004 RNC gave a speech which placed Bush on the throne of God (almost literally speaking...I will try to dig that up).

Of course, leftists believe the exact same things, just different characters.

I am not a Buchananite. I have issues with Pat on a few points.
