Flashback to 1999-2000. Election season.
After 8 years of Bill Clinton's undeclared wars and military interventionism, Governor George W. Bush ran a campaign that promoted a humble foreign policy, bringing the troops home, staying out of other countries business, ending nation-building, no more policing the world, and closing unnecessary military bases.
Its a foreign policy that Republicans historically embraced. Nixon also ran on a platform of bringing the troops home from Vietnam. How did interventionism become a "conservative" plank?
Look how far you've drifted! Now you're a pariah if you aren't on running on a platform of war with Iran, let alone bringing the soldiers home.
Watch this video. "The George Bush You Forgot." Man, was he unelectable.
