Of course, but you must realize that non-interventionism is an authentically conservative ideology. Notice under which party's banner that the WWI, WWII, Korea, Nam, Bosnia, and Kosovo have happened under. Iraq just happens to be an exception because our Republican president is a "neocon" (definition: "Liberalism under a Republican administration"). Democrats never learn from their mistakes.

You forgot the Spanish-American War and the Civil War for the Republicans

Well, although both of those wars were unjust, it doesn't really support my argument, because back then, the Republicans were the authoritarian party and the Democrats were the libertarian party.

Andrew Jackson sure was libertarian to those Indians.

I was referring to the 1860s through the 1890s. I don't think there's any denying that Grover Cleveland was a libertarian, given his impressive veto record, and that suspending habeus corpus, burning down cities, violating the 10th Amendment as an excuse to go to war, forcing states to ratify the 14th Amendment, stealing an election, impeaching a President for violating an unconstitutional law, or violating the 3rd Amendment during Reconstruction would be cosidered very authoritarian.

So why do people say that "democrats are unpatriotic"? Tongue

Of course not. The invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with humanitarian areasons. Iraqis are dying at a much faster rate now than under Saddam.
