See where they got us. Time they were consigned to the same shelf as being openly colonialist - the "White Man's Burden" and "Manifest destiny" claptrap that stood behind those hawkish tendencies. "hawkish liberals"? So conservatively<em> last</em> century, dude. :-) Regards, C Kevin,

All of our liberal lions waged wars, bombed villages and believed in violence as a means to achieve policy ends.  Liberalism, coupled with "hawkish" tendencies, is more the norm than the exception.    The problem is the distinct class of "liberal hawks" in the first place.  I usually tolerate it, but I defy Cernig et. al to show me Liberals who didn’t exhibit hawkish tendencies throughout the 2oth Century.
