When we are comparing the various candidates, many supporters say their candidate is fairly liberal on domestic policies but hawkish on the war. A variation also would be "I know my candidate is a centrist, but atleast he opposed the IRW".
People can and do die from conservative domestic policies by lack of healthcare, food, security and etc. Given that there is no such thing a perfect society we can only agree that a more progressive and socially just one is preferable. It is hard from a numbers standpoint to guess at the damage Ronald Raygun did over his two terms in office. Let us compare the immediate, violent and traumatic results that waging war has on people. In the span on a month or so we the United States by direct action killed 6-10,000 people in the Republic of Iraq. We determining how liberal someone is I will give far greater consideration to those you work for peace and oppose war against those you support liberal domestic policies and yet support war.
