Republicans use to be the party that kept us out of unnecessary wars. They need to return to that. I’m tired of seeing 30 year old men leaving wives and orphans behind. I buy Iraq because of it’s strategic importance. Libya, Afghanistan, Kosovo; what business is it of some kid from Iowa. Send Kristol, Clinton, and the rest to save the world.

It has historically rejected this social-engineering-writ-large nonsense of "nation-building" as a waste of blood and treasure. Why the neo-cons decided to breathe life into this discredited policy, and why so many traditional conservatives swallowed it whole, is a mystery to me.

And you are right: A party devoted to a kick ass military and a national interest based foreign policy does not translate into being "the war party."
