  The document is often cited as an exposé of liberal hawk thinking. It declares support for the American-led overthrow of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and for the 2003 war in Iraq, but criticizes the administration of George W. Bush for weakening America's standing in the world and for relying too much on military force to solve problems.
