Michael, Kosovo was a good example. Some people who supported our unprovoked intervention there opposed our intervention in Iraq... So another component is that if a Dem president does it, it is ok (for Dems), if a GOP president does the same, it is not OK (and vice versa). Joe

Well cheney does look evil and then there are the guys like chris parsons who go out of their way to cherrypick the Jewish names. And WOLFowitz is one scary name. I seem to remember some very moderate folks pushing for a more involved foreign policy in order to compete for hearts and minds. It wasnt about just war or perpetual war for the most part. Give us a break with the hyper_simplifications...W's father articulated the dangers of going into iraq ten years earlier..."who will lead when we take out saddam" was the key reason he didn't go in. This mess was predicted_able. They will protest for tibet against china who we need on our side, but if its kurds against saddam, screw em. You can make the counter argument for the right winger...who argues strenuously against NATO quelling a raging humanitarian disaster in Kosovo but freely supports unilateral intervention in Iraq on a wandering, creeping stream of ever changing rationale.
