words of wisdom from the Moose

There is a danger that progressives will transform themselves into amoral neo-Kissinger realists in reaction to the Crawford Bush clan. That would be an ill-advised abandonment of Truman, Kennedy, Scoop Jackson, Clinton democratic internationalism that promotes American ideals and interests. (courtesy mooseblog.com)

There is going to be a big debate between the Wilsonian internationalists in both parties and the Buchanan isolationists of the right (and left?) in the coming years. Key word here is debate. Dialog. Discussion. The Bush era has shown us we need to rediscover these words.
