Oh yes, and he's also very staunchly anti-Serbian! He just doesn't
like anyone who doesn't become a good NWO puppet.

It should be noted that Lieberman who
wants to use the military to force so called
"American values" on the Muslim
world is also (naturally) an outspoken Zionist
and supporter of Israel as well staunchly
anti -Cuban. He advocates continuing and
strengthening the illegal U.S.
blockade of Cuba and is opposed to any normalization
of relations between the the U.S and
Cuba.

Meant to post this earlier. More from
The Man Who Would Be President, whose "values-based" interventionism is
now being termed "the Lieberman Doctrine." Sounds suitably presidential.
Below are some excerpts from a recent Hartford Courant report. - NC

Lieberman's Foreign Policy: Propagate
U.S. Values
-------------- by DAVID LIGHTMAN,
Washington Bureau Chief [January 14, 2002]
WASHINGTON -- Joe Lieberman's view
of the United States' role in the world can be described in one phrase:
Promote American values.
He routinely speaks of the "primacy
of values" and how this country must have a foreign and military policy
that is "values-based and fully engaged." And in a speech today, he urges
the country to pursue a two-track foreign policy, one that deals with the
current terrorist threat but also pursues a longer-range strategy of promoting
American values in Muslim countries.
His address, heavily publicized in
Washington, will be given at Georgetown University as part of that school's
Lecture Fund series. It serves three purposes - it details Lieberman's
foreign policy positions; it reviews what he learned on last week's trip
to Central Asia; and it helps position him as a leading Democratic Party
voice on international affairs.
The Democrats are without any single
public spokesman for foreign policy. Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle,
D-S.D., is more interested in domestic matters, and Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr., D-Del., who is touring the same
areas as Lieberman, is not as well-known as the Connecticut senator.
Lieberman, the Democrats' 2000 vice
presidential candidate, has the background, the platform and the opportunity,
and he's taking it.
What drives the Lieberman doctrine
is that he believes that it is this country's duty to spread its views
of democracy and faith in God - its values - around the world. The next
great challenge, he will say today, is to promote those values in Muslim
countries; doing so, he believes, is very much is in the United States'
interest because it aids this country's national security.
In a December speech to the moderate
Democratic Leadership Council, Lieberman defined the war on terrorism as
pitting "the medieval zealotry and religious fanaticism of a holy war against
the universalistic, humanitarian, democratic, tolerant ideals of America,"
he said, "ideals which, incidentally, are themselves faith-based."
Lieberman has strong feelings about
this. He has said this country's "fundamental principles" are "as much
on the line in this war against terrorism as they were in our battles with
Nazism and communism."
That's why, he said last week as he
prepared to return from Afghanistan, the United States' immediate steps
should involve diplomatic efforts in the India-Pakistan and Middle East
conflicts, the ouster of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and a refusal to
deal with Iran or any other country that will not cooperate in rooting
out terrorists.
In fact, he is expected to say today,
the United States should be prepared to challenge countries that harbor
terrorists, regardless of whether we get help from those countries. And
he is expected to continue his willingness to embrace and support insurgent
movements in renegade nations.
There has also been a steady drumbeat
of criticism for Lieberman's 11-year-old view that the United States should
seek to militarily overthrow the current government of Iraq.
Perhaps the biggest question surrounding
the Lieberman doctrine is how far the United States should be prepared
to go in defending and promoting a values-based foreign policy. Should
it overlook human rights violations in China? Should it support moderate
regimes that deny their citizens certain civil liberties? And most important,
just what should the United States' commitment be to these countries?
Clearly, Lieberman said last week,
the United States should play an important diplomatic role, "to use our
fully flexed muscles to mediate some of the regional disputes that will
only become more incendiary if we remain distant from them."
Lieberman has long been unafraid to
support military intervention when he believes it is needed. He was one
of the most outspoken Democrats in 1991 in backing President Bush's father's
request for authority to conduct the Gulf War, and was just as vocal in
his support for sending American troops to Bosnia in 1998.
Ultimately, Lieberman is likely to
call for a policy that deals with the Muslim world the way the United States
dealt with the Communist threat after World War II - fight aggression where
challenged, promote democracy everywhere.Copyright
