But moving more U.S. troops into the Middle East and volatile central Asian nations may provoke more terrorism than it prevents, Libertarians say Huh is this michael moore or Michael Badnarik.
Both the same, IMO.

As long as they close the border first when they get here. Next they can round up all the illegal immigrants already here.
But that isn't what he wants is it?

The public might take this guy more seriously if he were to pay $249 for the right to call himself Dr. like his VP candidate did.

"How long can politicians pretend to be surprised when terrorist threats turn into bloody reality? How many more innocent Americans have to lose their lives before U.S. policy makers come to their senses and stop interfering in other nations' affairs?" The 9/11 plot was formulated, researched, planned out in many nations; Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq, Germany, England, Spain, and the U.S.
When other nations support terrorists, provide them money, training, transportation, communication, etc so they can plot and pull off an attack on American soil, then it's our duty to "interfere in their affairs."
War is not longer just 1 or 2 nations against others... this is world-wide. So we'll stick our noses anywhere we must to keep our people safe.

"It's time to bring all of our men and women home and start using them for defensive purposes only." That plan guarantees that we'll eventually need them for defensive purposes - in the streets of Los Angeles.
I have great affinity for the Libertarian positions on many issues, but some of them are completely clueless on conducting foreign policy.

The Libertarians have fallen victim to the same fallacy as the liberals. The enemy isn't trying to kill us because they're mad at our interference in foreign affairs. They're trying to kill us because we refuse to acknowledge that there is one God and that Mohammed is his prophet. A religious motivation is so alien to the leftist, and sadly to the Libertarian, worldview, that they assume that all this must really be about environmentalism or wealth imbalance or hatred of President Bush or some other "real" cause.

I'd prefer our troops at home as well, but's more xenophobic than we, the world power, should be. Rogue nations are less impressed when all our troops and carriers are nowhere in their vicinty than when they're only a few day's sail away.

We'd ahve to have all the troops here if he was in charge, because they'd throw the borders open to everyone and anyone.
We'd need the military in our cities and towns.

What kills me about groups like the LP is that they haven't a sense of priorities.

When your neighbors house is on fire, you go put out that fire before your own house burns down. You can make appoligies to your neighbor later and any restoration if it is needed.
The LP would rather stand around pointing at the flames licking at our shores saying, "Ooooh... pretty!"
Their anti-war stance is one of the major black marks against the LP in this libertarians viewpoint.
