Whats interesting is that the Left used to be the advocates of being the World's Police force and liberating nations from dictators. Look at Carter and Kenedy. It is only recently really only since Bush 1 that the right had begun pushing for war. Prior to that the Right was the isolationist party.
What happened in the interim is that the weapons manufacturers got behind the republicans and industry / politicians realized that war allows the efficient transfer of public money and assets into private hands.
