Are wary of American arrogance and hypocrisy Trace much of today's anti-American hatred to previous US foreign policies. Believe political solutions are inherently superior to military solutions Believe the US is morally bound to intervene in humanitarian crises Oppose American imperialism Support international law, alliances, and agreements Encourage US participation in the UN Believe US economic policies must help lift up the world's poor Historical liberal: President Woodrow Wilson
Modern liberal: President Jimmy Carter
It's ironic that I use a neo-conservative president for my sig-line quote. But then again Teddy Roosevelt did say it best when it comes to questioning the president!!!
Don't know how I'd have answered if this was a professional test though. Private feelings and professional imperatives are often at variance if someone puts you on the spot...
It's the rather arrogant name given to the theory, which in simple terms translates as 'Might Makes Right'. One thing that little quiz forgot to mention about Realists is that they have a preference for warfare over diplomatic negotiations. And while not all Realists are Neo-Conservatives, ALL Neo-Cons are Realists. Finding out yr a Realist isn't something to be crowing about....
but I often had to choose a least-awful answer. There was a lot of overlapping in the choices given, and then an absence of the alternative I wanted (especially irritating in the China and Korea sections).
I wish they tabulated the results of all the readers who took the test. I really wonder how many living, breathing neo-cons there are out there.
