...congressional candidates to cost the party races in Washington, Nevada, Montana and, most recently, Louisiana. But if anything, the GOP platform has grown more committed to foreign military intervention and domestic moralizing. The selection of John McCain was a final insult--most libertarians view him, fairly or not, as pro-war, anti-gun, pro-environmentalism and anti--free speech (thanks to his advocacy for campaign-finance reform). In Nevada, where the liberty lobby is strong, McCain got trounced in the primary voting, coming in third behind Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. When the state GOP tried to crown McCain...
...after being shot just a week after arriving in Iraq are interspersed with footage from the Congressional debates over the war in October 2002. While Young learns to deal with life in a wheelchair, senators pontificate on war and the constitutional implications of granting greater executive power to the President. Unsurprisingly, the film doesn’t just adopt a self-righteous tone but positively revels in it. The exchanges between Young’s anti-war mother and pro-war father could hardly be more simplistic, with the loyalties of the film clearly placed well on the maternal side...
...Makiya, who appears only as a nameless Iraqi expatriate, in two separate New York Times Magazine articles about his own position on the war.

He wasn’t the only prominent pro-war intellectual at Harvard, but he stood out among those like Harvard Kennedy School professor Ashton B. Carter and neo-conservative Government professor Stephen...
...small group of students calling themselves the “Students at Harvard Undermining Terrorism-United Patriots” (SHUT-UP) enacted a farcical pro-war demonstration in front of the John Harvard Statue at noon yesterday. Members of the Harvard Anti-War Coalition (HAWC) marched through Harvard Yard and the surrounding area with signs reading “Five more years (or however long it takes...)!” and chanted “1, 2, 3, 4, we support preemptive war!” The march was one of several events the group has organized as the fifth...
...place Paul hasn't become a major player is where it counts: in the polls, where he hasn't broken above 5% and has yet to pass Mike Huckabee. Paul realizes he's not a favorite among the pro-war, pro-Bush Republicans. "A lot of times at my rally, I say, 'We're diverse. We even have some Republicans,'" he jokes. (His largest Meetup.com group gathers in liberal Austin, Texas; another sizable one is in San Francisco.) And he isn't sure where all this sudden support will lead...
