The Left supports the use of force - as long as its in a situation in which no vital American national interests are stake. If they are, then the Left reverts to full-throated pacifism.

Yes, and that is puzzling. Are they so uncomfortable with the defense of their own country? With the assertion of national interests? Yet they are comfortable with foreign "meddling" as it were in countries in which there is no national interest. (Having said that, I'd like to see a more robust presence by the U.S. in Darfur. But then I was in favor of the Iraq war too.)
