Ah yes--let's use the latest issue as the "definative" class line. Let's 
line up the whole Congressional Black Caucus (almost all of whom 
supported both Haiti and Bosnian inteventions) against the wall and 
declare them class traitors.

And let's hold hands with Buchanan and the other right-wingers who all 
oppose the Bosnia and Haiti interventions.

Yep, this seems like a definative point of class differentiation.  No 
deeper analysis needed.
