I find it amusing that the response of traditional conservatives (with isolationist tendencies) to Bush's Inaugural Address is one of confusion if not alarm; they don't quite know what to make of it:

Bush has just announced that we must remake the entire third world in order to feel safe in our own homes, and he has done so without sounding a single note of reluctance or hesitation. This overturns the nation’s fundamental stance toward foreign policy since its inception. Washington warned of "foreign entanglements." The second President Adams asserted that "we go not abroad in search of monsters to destroy."

But to the New Crusaders, this is music to the ears!

Counterpoint is here.
