Darth Vader Revealed: The Galaxy's Original Neoconservative?

To paraphrase neoconservative godfather Irving Kristol, an evil Sith lord is a noble Jedi knight mugged by reality.

Or, to put it in more contemporary terms, Darth Vader is the galaxy's first neocon.

A stretch, it is not. Just ask Washington's most influential neoconservative journal, The Weekly Standard, which published an article in 2002 defending the takeover of the galaxy by Darth Vader and his evil master, Emperor Palpatine.
