Clean Out Some Senate War Dogs?

June 22, 2016 By Richard C. Young

Sens. Rubio, Graham, McCain and fellow neocon traveler Sen. Mark Kirk celebrate “victory” in Libya after the death of Qaddafi.

The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison outlines a group of the Senate’s most hawkish members who could suffer defeat this fall.

The GOP’s foreign-policy agenda hasn’t been popular with most Americans outside the party for years, and it is no longer appealing to roughly half of Republicans nationally. At some point, the party will have to abandon the ruinous approach to world affairs that has cost the country so much over the last decade because most of its own voters will grow tired of it. Until then, hawkish foreign policy will continue to be an anchor dragging down Republican candidates across the country.

The 2016 election isn’t likely to give us a more restrained and responsible president, but it does promise to leave us with a Senate that is somewhat less receptive to hawkish arguments than the current one. That may not be enough to halt the next unnecessary war, but it should make it more difficult for the next president to start one.
