Did you ever consider that WWI had a liberal president (Wilson), WWII had a liberal president (Roosevelt), and Viet Nam had liberal presidents (Kennedy, LBJ)? Maybe the support of war is a liberal position.

You must be Babs "liberals are the liberators" Streisand.

Bob Dole made this argument back in 1976, when he was Ford's running mate. He accused the Democrats of having Utopian visions that lead them into war. He cited WWI and Vietnam as prime instances of the Democratic penchant to go abroad, seeking monsters to destroy.

Pat Buchanan makes that argument today, arguing that guys like Sec'y of Defense Paul Wolfowitz are actually crazed Democratic zealots, wishing to remake the world in the image of liberal America.

Let me be perfectly clear. These are notions that all of us must reject.
