Spanky, you don't get to coopt labels that way. Your definition of liberal leaves a giant hole in the political spectrum, into which I think a large number of the left-of-center posters here, and much of America, fall. I am not a moderate by any stretch. What would you propose calling me (for the record, I was in favor of at least the invasions of Afghanastan, Iraq I, Panama and Grenada, although I'm not sure that last one wasn't both a little premature and using a sledgehammer when a flyswatter would do - the movie about the war lasted longer than the war, for pete's sake)?
You've overstepped here without any real gain: we can all agree there are some out there, who are generally on the average on the left side of the spectrum on most issues, who believe that war is bad under all circumstances. No need to tar all self-professed liberals with that brush.
Also, AON, any ideas on how I might get the RNC to stop sending me mail thanking me prominantly for my generous past support? My neighbor who generally picks up his mail at the same time I do is starting to give me the evil eye.
