From a column.

“Tony Smith argues that the Bush administration and the neo-conservative architects of the Iraq war were the natural heirs of the Wilsonian tradition. Wilson and post-1945 liberal internationalists blazed a trail that Bush followed. In this view, it is America's commitment to promote democracy worldwide - a sort of liberal imperial ambition - that is at the core of Wilsonianism, and it was the animating vision behind the Bush doctrine.”

I recall Bush senior being considered an internationalist also.

Both GH and GW Bush are globalists promoting the New World Order. (As was Clinton) The best definition I have seen of globalism is socialism in a business suit.

Globalists are behind the so called 'free trade' agreements that have nothing to do with free trade as you probably think of it. In these agreements, US sovereignty, & national security are sacrificed to open borders needed for the unimpeded movement of goods and natural persons, i.e. units of labor.

US business (not global corporations) and US workers are placed at a severe disadvantage by onerous taxes, extreme environmental regulations, political correctness. Countries such as China and India are excused from even minimal environmental regulations,from what we would consider even minimal humane working conditions, and any semblance of political correctness.

A goal of the NWO is the 'harmonization of standards of living' which was presented as everyone moving upward. In actuality the NWO is about control by a group of global elite, loss of sovereignty and freedom, and pushing down the standard of living of the middle class in first world countries.
