"While ice-hearted hawks helped cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Southeast Asia in the 1960's,"

THAT takes a lot of d*mn nerve, Kristof! Those "Hawks", as you put it, were Democrats and more interested in winning the 1968 election than they ever were interested in keeping Vietnam free. Hypocrite!

"While ice-hearted hawks helped cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in Southeast Asia in the 1960's, mush-hearted doves helped kill — by failing to push for military force — hundreds of thousands in places like Rwanda in the 1990's."

What about a coupld millions killed in Campuchia ? I suppose we have to count them as the victims of the "doves" (or better "dorks").
