"Didn't he support George Bush over Dukakis"

That was/is based on Realpolitik/Realist Foreign Policy.

The three most notable backers of Realpolitik were Kissinger, Brzezinski, and Scowcroft who was Bush's NSA.

Which is why all the Realpolitikers, like Kissinger, Brzezinski and Scowcroft are big supporters of Obama.

Which is why, when Kerry and Lugar passed Obama's START out of the Foreign Relations Committee, they had Kissinger there for the photo op.

Which is why Condi Rice made her recent visit to the Whitehouse. To demostrate that, even though General Jones had resigned as NSA, the Realists were still in charge of Obama's foreign policy.

So what are these “Realists” or “Realpolitik” people? What do they believe or think, what is their goal?
