I hate Libertopians who would have had us leave Afghanistan alone, and allow Osama to finish building his radioactive bombs in peace.

And I really hate it when those Libertopians accuse the rest of us of being dimwitted and bloodthirsty for not agreeing with them.

How weird. - You seem to have a large hate on for something I've never seen anyone here ever advocate. - Who are these 'libertopians'?

Two bits you don't have the guts to make any real accusations against real people, do you?

Vote for any damn socialist you want.

The LP is much more radical than most libertarians, or even most big-L Libertarians.

This is from their press release on September 12th:

The Libertarian Party condemns the vicious and barbaric attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. There is no excuse for such savage acts. No legitimate political or religious ideology can justify the murder of thousands of innocent people. These actions, and the revulsion they cause to all decent people around the world, demonstrate in the starkest way possible that the initiation of force is never an appropriate way to settle political or social differences. The result of such violence is more hatred, more grieving relatives and friends, more tombstones -- and, ultimately, more violence. Libertarians unequivocally reject the initiation of force as a solution to the disagreements between people and between governments.

The Libertarian Party calls for justice to be meted out to the terrorists responsible for the attacks. However, we encourage the United States government to be sure that any response is appropriate and measured. Action should not be taken that will cause innocent people in other countries to be killed because of the actions of terrorists. Such a response would only continue the cycle of violence and revenge.

How were we supposed to attack Afghanistan without accidentally killing any innocent people? We couldn't have reasonably done it.
