 Sirotablog: The Misguided Desire to Seem "Hawkish"
Case in point is the conventional wisdom that claims the only way for Democrats to win is to be more "hawkish." This line of reasoning is best known to come from people like Peter Beinart – the self-righteous ivory tower editor of the New Republic (a publication that is, not surprisingly, steadily losing readership).
Baer is also joined by writer Matt Yglesias (a guy I happen to like), who bills himself as a "more 'hawkish' brand of liberal," and says the answer is to "convince more liberals that they should like" hawks.
The current "hawkish" policies that we are living under now are what's weak – they weaken our security by overstretching our military and fueling anti-Americanism all over the globe.

 CJC.org » Blog Archive » Hawkish Liberalism’s Prospects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As a cautionary point after the post about Thomas Friedman’s op-ed, I found this article from The New Republic: The Liberal Power, on “hawkish liberalisms” prospects in the event of a second Gulf War.
Hawkish liberalism — the willingness to use military power in pursuit of altruistic aims, such as democracy and liberation — was betrayed after the first Gulf War, when the previous Bush administration struck a back room deal with the Saudis to keep Iraq more or less intact and let the Shiites and Kurds get slaughtered.
This betrayal was eased by the realization that America has the preeminent military power in the world, and that, under Clinton, it could still be used for liberal purposes, as it was in Bosnia and Kosovo.

 War Hawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other men traditionally identified as War Hawks included Peter B. Porter of New York, Langdon Cheves and William Lowndes of South Carolina, Felix Grundy of Tennessee, George M. Troup of Georgia, and Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky.
The term War Hawk (or warhawk or hawk) has often been used since the War of 1812 to describe politicians with "hawkish" positions on warfare.
It is sometimes extended to describe a tough stance on other issues, such as "deficit hawk" for someone who puts a high priority on reducing the United States federal budget deficit.

 Right-wing politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In contrast, the post-September 11 anti-war movement has been largely from the left.
In Israel, much of the current left/right dichotomy is about dovish (left) versus hawkish (right) policies with reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.**
In the United States, most of the political right support the use of military measures against terrorist organizations — by which they mean not only paramilitary groups like Al-Qaida, but also groups like Hamas, which combine paramilitary activities with more conventional political and social organizing — and "terror-supporting states", including some Arab dictatorships.

True, I am on the minority liberal end of my newly chosen party, but among the first orders of government is to provide for the common defence, and on that count I trust the arch-conservative Bill Frist and Tom DeLay over the uncertain minimalism of Tom Daschle and Nancy Pelosi.
In 2002, Al Gore himself denounced the sort of hawkish liberalism he had espoused only two years earlier, and it seems that the majority of the party agrees with his about-face.

Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan stuck to his upbeat -- and hawkish -- script Wednesday, saying that the economy is strong enough to allow the Fed to continue raising interest rates.

On average, Greenspan was "as hawkish as expected," according to Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors.
