Leftists usually tends to side with the oppresed and underdog in conflicts. Also, leftists are good at identifying propaganda, because their reading are eclectic (chomsky is an example of this, rightists are generelly less well read than leftists). So, its actually not being for something, rather its being against something. In the case with muslims, its being against imperialism and rasicism, and zionism to lesser degree. I wonder though, why do rightists proclaim themselvs as champions of justice, while they on the same time never actually help the unjustly treated (outrage of civilian casualties is uncommon for example).

I've heard liberals calling UN efforts to stop the Rwandan and Serbian genocide imperialist. Whenever a US soldiers sets foot outside US soil liberals scream "AMPORIALORAAAAAAAAAAAARRRST!!!!!!" at the top of their voices with a pathologically over-emotional vigour causing them to lose bladder and bowel control simultaneously. You people have some serious fucking problems.
There are imperialist moves because, well, take Kosovo for example- we didn't really have to go in like we did. The military operation is what spurned the genocide. The common-man misconception is that the atrocities started before we got there and I'm sorry but that's just not the case. You see evidence of this all over the place though (Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia)- think hard for one second- when have we ever gone into a country for the good of that country with absolutely no self-interests involved?

I take it then that the genocide in Darfur is just a plot that doesn't actually involve dead people? When the first Americabn arrives they will all drop dead from outrage? I'm sure that with a little effort you can show self interest in everything we've ever done. Since that is your point, piss off.

Wow someone who talks some sense.
I think you can get some left wingers just as stupid as right wingers. People let there bias affect there judgement on issues.
You get crazy left wingers saying America deserved 9/11. (Talking about real life here not the net.)
You get crazy right wingers claming Arabs are a backwards agressive people who need to be bombed back to the stone age. (Know people like this in real life too)

I've heard conservatives calling UN efforts to stop the US dodging of paying its fees as imperialist. And they also claim that the international crime court is to biased to judge american war criminals. How about that, conservatives being soft on crime...
