==Overview==
Past U.S. presidents [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], [[Harry S. Truman]], [[John F. Kennedy]] and [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] have been described as liberal hawks for their roles in bringing about America's status as the world's premier military power. The [[Clinton Doctrine]] can also be considered as consistent with this vision. Today the term is most frequently used to describe liberals and [[leftists]] who supported or still support the decision to [[2003 invasion of Iraq|invade Iraq]] in 2003, which was authorized by the [[United States Congress]] and ordered by president [[George W. Bush]]. The war has stirred heated controversy among all political sides of the debate. The American left was divided over the issue of whether going to war in Iraq was the right decision, as some liberals felt that they should support the war, in accordance with their philosophy of [[liberal internationalism]], which had caused them to support military intervention earlier.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.kenyon.edu/Depts/Religion/Fac/Adler/Politics/Liberal-quandary.htm|title=The Liberal Quandary Over Iraq|date=December 8, 2002|work=The New York Times Magazine}}</ref>

In December 2002, American liberals were conflicted over whether or not going to war in Iraq was the correct decision; some felt that they should support the war, in accordance with their philosophy of [[liberal internationalism]], i.e. support of military intervention.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.kenyon.edu/Depts/Religion/Fac/Adler/Politics/Liberal-quandary.htm|title=The Liberal Quandary Over Iraq|date=December 8, 2002|work=The New York Times Magazine}}</ref>


One document often cited as promoting a liberal hawkish point of view is ''[[Progressive Internationalism: A Democratic National Security Strategy]]'', published by the [[Progressive Policy Institute]] in October 2003.<ref name="Liberal Hawk Down"/> Another document related to the philosophy is a letter to President Bush sent by [[Social Democrats USA]] in February 2003, which urged the military overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime.<ref>[http://www.socialdemocrats.org/IraqLetter3.html Letter to President Bush] sent by [[Social Democrats USA]] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509134106/http://www.socialdemocrats.org/IraqLetter3.html |date=May 9, 2008 }}</ref>

In January 2004, [[Paul Berman]], [[Thomas Friedman]], [[Christopher Hitchens]], [[George Packer]], [[Kenneth Pollack]], [[Jacob Weisberg]], [[Fareed Zakaria]], and [[Fred Kaplan (journalist)|Fred Kaplan]] participated in a five-day online forum, ''Liberal Hawks Reconsider the Iraq War'', in which they discussed whether they had been correct in advocating military action against [[Saddam Hussein]]'s regime. Kaplan by that point had renounced his prior support, but the general consensus among the participants was that, despite the absence of [[weapons of mass destruction]] in Iraq, the war had still been justified on humanitarian grounds.

Political scientists argue that liberals tend to be hawkish to counter criticism and accusations by conservatives of being "soft" and having a tendency of appeasing foreign adversaries. Others argue that they are driven by [[Wilsonian idealism]] to reshape the world in their image.
In his book ''The Good Fight'', published in 2006, [[Peter Beinart]] renounced his prior support for the Iraq War: "I was too quick to give up on containment, too quick to think time was on Saddam's side."

The term liberal hawk refers to a politically liberal person (generally, in the American sense of the term) who supports a hawkish, interventionist foreign policy.

Overview

[edit]

Past U.S. presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson have been described as liberal hawks for their roles in bringing about America's status as the world's premier military power. The Clinton Doctrine can also be considered as consistent with this vision. Today the term is most frequently used to describe liberals who supported or still support the decision to invade Iraq in 2003, which was authorized by the United States Congress and ordered by president George W. Bush. The invasion was controversial among all political sides. In December 2002, American liberals were conflicted over whether or not going to war in Iraq was the correct decision; some felt that they should support the war, in accordance with their philosophy of liberal internationalism, i.e. support of military intervention.[1]

One document cited as promoting a liberal hawkish point of view is Progressive Internationalism: A Democratic National Security Strategy, published by the Progressive Policy Institute in October 2003.[2] Another document related to the stance is a letter to President Bush sent by Social Democrats USA in February 2003, which urged the military overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime.[3]

In January 2004, Paul Berman, Thomas Friedman, Christopher Hitchens, George Packer, Kenneth Pollack, Jacob Weisberg, Fareed Zakaria, and Fred Kaplan participated in a five-day online forum, Liberal Hawks Reconsider the Iraq War, in which they discussed whether they had been correct in advocating for military action against Saddam Hussein's regime. Kaplan by that point had renounced his prior support, but the general consensus among the participants was that, despite the absence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the war had still been justified on humanitarian grounds.

Political scientists argue that liberals tend to be hawkish to counter criticism and accusations by conservatives of being "soft" and having a tendency of appeasing foreign adversaries. Others argue that they are driven by Wilsonian idealism to reshape the world in their image.

Opposition to the Sunshine Policy

[edit]

The Sunshine Policy is the dovish foreign policy with North Korea of South Korean liberals, in which President Donald Trump has also expressed support,[4] but the Washington establishment consisting of liberals and conservatives alike oppose their policy and support a more hawkish stance toward North Korea,[5] creating a conflict with South Korean liberals.[6]

Despite being a liberal, President Barack Obama opposed the Sunshine Policy and preferred a more hawkish foreign policy of "strategic patience ".[7]

The hostile diplomatic approach towards North Korea has made South Korea liberals prefer Donald Trump diplomatically, who is more transactional in nature in his dealings with North Korea. However, South Korean conservatives, who are more pro-American support the liberal hawks approach. In the 2020 United States presidential election, Hong Joon-pyo, known as a "Korean Trumpist",[8] supported Joe Biden.[9] The current president of South Korea Yoon Suk-yeol, dubbed the "K-Trump" in South Korean media, defended President Joe Biden's policy toward North Korea and opposing the new Sunshine Policy approach of Donald Trump and South Korean liberals. In contrast, South Korean liberals Moon Chung-in and Kim Ou-joon supported Donald Trump's Sunshine Policy.[6][10]
