Uh, nope, I learned in Poli Sci class in college unless I'm forgetting
or "mis-remembering":

* Foreign policy liberals believe in active intervention in foreign
politics.  Invading Iraq would be an extreme example, but Bush's
"democratic imperialism" would be a policy example.

* Foreign policy conservatives believe we have no business in other
country's problems; the isolationism of the 1930s is an example.

Having a strong military is neither conservative nor liberal as long
as you only use it to defend.

E.g., a FP liberal might argue that the threat of a bristling military
can be used to strong-arm country's to bend to our will.

A FP conservative would argue that a strong military is a deterrent
for other counties to attack us.

Remember 2000 Bush?  He campaigned as a FP conservative: "the military
is to fight and win wars, not to nation build".  He flip-flopped.
