The result has been that neither Sweden nor Switzerland has spent a single day at war during this century. Usually it is the Defense Department that tends to be militant in foreign policy, and the State Department has tended to lean more toward diplomacy. But President Clinton has now stated that the enemy today is not Nazism or Communism, but Hate. America's power is to be used around the world to crush Hate. This gives a green light to liberals.
Liberals do all the defining for America.
Liberals propose, conservatives oppose. But conservatives never do the defining. The question Albright asked could only have been asked by a liberal in our own time. In any other time, it would be assumed that no one would ask such a question unless he was a fascist. Think about it.
