i am most likely a liberal.
gee i needed to spend ten minutes reading an online quiz to tell me that ;)
What a poorly designed quiz. Hardly any of the available choices for answers to the questions were acceptable.
Did you try answering none of them and submitting? That is an option.
I'm a liberal also. Whee.
Yeah, but their categories lack a 'neutral' category. I find the Swiss style of neutrality to be the sanest approach to foreign affairs. It's rather hard to argue with 700+ years of peace.
I took that one a while back, and surprise surprise, I turned out liberal.
Check out this site: political compass. I like it. It puts you on a graph showing where you lean against fascism/anarchism and communism/neo-liberalism, and compare your position with the likes of G W Bush, S Hussein.
I'm on the map near Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, and Al Sharpton ;) (Libertarian-Left)
If you answer no questions, you come out an isolationist. That fits Swiss neutrality.

Ghandi is cool.
"Yeah, but their categories lack a 'neutral' category"
As a further elaboration on this, answering no questions, and resulting in isolationism.
Foreign Policy is the art of making the better of bad choices. If you are neutral, you make no choice, and do no bad. You also do no good.
In a dangerous world, thats the easy - and irresponsible - way out.
Agree or disagree, but don't sit out the game.
Isolationist doesn't quite fit (my personal view at any rate), particularly for those of a libertarian bent, since they would support unfettered immigration. That's the problem with attempting to pigeon hole all views into a limited model.
I also strongly disagree with the mistaken notion that refusing to 'take sides' is irresponsible. Of course, I also happen to believe that there is no form of government whatsoever that is capable of doing good - all governments oppress their citizens to some degree or another.
