As a life long liberal, I can assure Mr. Prager that I know the difference between good and evil..He and those Neocons of his ilk are evil personified.
Iraq as the central front against "organized evil"? I don't know what planet you live on Mr. Prager--but here on earth where the rest of us live Afghanistan/Pakistan is where the Al-Quida terrorists live that you presumably refer to. In fact, it is well documented that all the ills your kind ascribe to withdrawal from Iraq have been put in play by the actualization of your insane view of the world.
Neo-Cons as non-relativists? How about Richard Perl in his defense of the policies he activated--"we believed that WMD presented a clear and present danger--and it is Saddams' fault that he did not come clean in advance of the US Military's actions" --that is to say-- facts don't matter--only what we CAN CONVINCE ourselves to believe matters---Maybe he and you could look up "relativism" before you throw it as an expletive at others.
In conclusion, you may have called yourself a liberal--but you sir have NEVER shared our values--those elucidated by John Adams among others---America is a place for freedom from want, freedom from a royal class, freedom of belief and freedom from foreign entanglements. That's not protectionism--it's good policy.
