I believe in "Walk softly, talk softly and carry a big stick." as TR put it. I see right through these neo-cons that see it fit for us to force our political, economic and social ideals on the world just because we can. Were on a fast track to becoming the Evil Empire which we faced down for 40 years. The neo-cons play on the emotions of the american ppl and even then the best they got was 70% for their war in Iraq. They decide on something and repeat it endlessly. They never adjust, they never admit mistakes. THEY do what THEY want regardless of need or reason. They are dyed in the wool and the only thing you can do is face THEM down.

But that contradicts your previous statement that the military should be used as a deterrent and that action isn't necessary to back it. The issue really is that you disagree with force in Iraq, not whether or not anyone who backs Bush is liberal or conservative as your own post just proved.
