re: The liberals favored intervention, the conservatives favored isolationism. So the Democrats were split on the issue. The Republicans weren't. I've said here more than a few times that traditional conservatives are isolationist and FIRMLY against nation building. The Iraq thing would be as foreign to them as supporting government deficits (whoops). These "new" conservatives are so far away from the root of the philosophy that there is no connection. The "liberals" were always the ones that wanted war... that wanted to build nations, that wanted to evangelize democracy. The conservatives just wanted to mind their business... do things efficiently and with fiscal prudence. Nice people, really. The Neo's want to run the world. It's the opposite of "conservative". And these "new" conservative don't have a clue that they are really liberals. John
