Mostly semantics, but the observation that Kissinger foreign policy is not necessarily conservative but expected by old guard makes sense to me. Some call it realism, but moral equilvalence is its mainstay. We don't usualy call that conservative.
Interesting take. Would you say that this tack has contributed to widespread acceptance of domestic liberalization through moral entropy? The importation of un-American values, rather than vice-versa over the last 50 years? Would you view this as an innovation, or progressivism?
