Isn't that what people normally consider to be right wing? I know an
Australian would consider that to be a right wing position.

There might be a slight disconnect there actually - would I be right
in assuming that right wing in the US very strongly implies the idea
of legislating private morality, as would be the case with the
christian right? Here, I think we don't have so much of that
represented in our political spectrum (the christian right isn't much
of a force, more of a lunatic fringe), our main parties behave a lot
more like your neocons.
