"Rather, the Libertarian Party calls for a military that serves a single function, as described in the party platform: "Any U.S. military policy should have the objective of providing security for the lives, liberty and property of the American people in the U.S. against the risk of attack by a foreign power."

The platform also states, regarding foreign intervention, "The United States should not inject itself into the internal matters of other nations, unless they have declared war upon or attacked the United States, or the U.S. is already in a constitutionally declared war with them."

I would take an exception to this position, because it doesn't provide for the protection of the property rights of Americans abroad.

Remember Iran, circa 1951 when they decided to illegally appropriate the property of American oil companies.
The USA failed to protect the rights of Americans, and look where we are now.

BTW, Thanks for the ping.

I've been laughing for ten minutes. (I'm the subject of the article.) If you're taking bets, do I get a percentage?
