There is no such thing.
How to Convert a Die-hard Huck Supporter
Pretty good, but really, Mass-Murderists is a better description for people who like to risk invasions on the notion that it might protect us in the long run.call Huck an invasionist![]()

But no war supporter wants to know they have willfully supported mass murder. Their intentions may seem good, but their mind's eye is mostly blind.
In a recent discussion I had with an admitted neocon, I pointed out to them the contradiction that in social matters we think the government is incompetent in running just about anything, so why should we be surprised when they stuff up in foreign wars.
Would it not make sense to be highly sceptical about government claims about what they can achieve with foreign welfare / war programs.
And anyone with half a brain can see plenty of evidence of this incompetence in Iraq.
Hence stepping back from such interventions should at least be considered as we would consider rethinking massive interventions into domestic policy.
Just keep poking him with a sharp stick, when he finally has had enough and punches you in the face. Tell him "See thats what we have been doing to the Arab world for over 50 years. If we stick to a non-interventionist policy, ie stop poking them with a sharp stick, they won't have a reason to want to blow us up."
He's a good friend of mine. Very politically active. Very politically intelligent. Die-hard Huck supporter.
I've been working on him for months; I thought he was a lost cause until tonight. To my surprise, he told me tonight that he thought that RP was the best in every category EXCEPT the war/foreign policy.
That, for him, is a huge, huge, HUGE deal-breaker.
Help Me! I need some ammo. This guy would be great to have on our side.
