War, Right and Left

Larison responds to an Yglesias post:

There is nothing particularly ”far left” about repudiating and deploring wars of aggression, which seem to me to be the kind of war that Greenwald is rejecting ... Greenwald is saying that wanton aggression is not the norm, and wars of self-defense and national security are.  …He says simply that the default condition for the use of force for most states is self-defense, which seems pretty clearly true.
