I guessd Radical. Got Radical.

#1: Radical
#2: Liberal
#3: Libertarian
#4: Marxist
#5: Neoliberal
#6: Pacifist
#7: Neorealist
#8: Nationalist
#9: Realist
#10: Neoconservative (At least that's right.)

Personally while I'd consider my FP ideals "Liberal" I wouldn't say the same of Wilson's and Reagan's - They were both pure imperialists. And Al Gore is certainly not a radical, when I think Radical FP I think Noam Chomsky (who I defo don't want to be associated with). I also wondered if anyone else agreed with both questions 1 and 2.

My foreign policy views are sufficiently weird for almost any of this to come first.
Hope "realist" doesn't though... let's see...

The amusing thing is that the questions are so vague that if I were to take this again, say, tomorrow, the above order could be completely different. (but for what it's worth the best description of my views would be "anti-genocide"; which is o/c a vague enough term in it's own right). The questions I always have difficulty with on this sort of thing is whether or not force is sometimes acceptable or not; from my way of looking at things it is if it would prevent much greater loss of life further down the road, or if all other alternatives are worse.

The bizarre thing about the above post is that I almost entirely agree with it, that is agreeing with someone who I told to Die (or was it asking for someone called Dai, I can't quite remember....) almost a minute ago. Got to love the Internet, and the crazy Welsh of course. Wink

Despite their names I don't think that neocon and neoliberal are that much different. (Neither for that matter are they much different from Realist and Neo-realist - at least in terms of aims.)
