		By 1969, Jackson was so prominent in military and national security affairs, and so at odds on those issues with many in his own party, that newly elected Republican Richard Nixon thought to name the Washington Democrat his secretary of defense, though the senator declined the job.
		There was no question that "Scoop," from the mountains and straits of the far northwest corner of the continental United States, caught the unease and reflexive combativeness of much of America in dealing with a planet we knew so little despite our power.
		By the Reagan '80s, he was an assistant secretary of defense, veteran of the now-venerated Jackson tradition of military expansion and a self-promoted strategist for a Republican president as comfortably as for a Democratic senator.

		RP: Well, outsiders were puzzled by 'Scoop' Jackson because he was liberal on domestic issues, on constitutional questions in particular, matters of civil liberty, on budget and spending matters, he was a big spender.
		RP: Well, 'Scoop' had been a hawk on Vietnam, and in particular he was hawkish on the question of whether, having made the investment that we had made by 1969, when I first got to know him, we could then simply pack up and leave.
		But 'Scoop' would take to the floor of the Senate and vigorously oppose efforts either to cut the budget or in other ways force the administration to beat a retreat from Vietnam, that he thought would be a dishonorable defeat.

		Henry "Scoop" Jackson, D-Wash., is remembered as a Cold Warrior and a conservationist.

		In contrast, Jackson and his followers insisted that the US was a "well-founded nation" which could be a force for good in the world if it was not afraid to use its strength.
		Jackson, who arrived in the capital as a young congressman in 1941, "came to believe that you have to confront evil with power", as Mr Horner put it, and saw himself as upholding a Democratic tradition which married social support for civil rights and equality at home with unflinching military support for democracy abroad.
		Jackson died in 1983 and therefore missed the collapse of communism he had long predicted, but his former disciples are united in the belief that he, as much as Ronald Reagan, helped the US to "win" the Cold war.
