Iraq is nearly over. BTW we won.

Radar speaks volumes for the flaw in libertarianism. Sadam Husein, and every other murdering dictator, has a right to kill, to torture, or whatever, because he is an individual, and his country is an individual country. If there is nothing illegal, there is no crime.

You're an idiot. I never said what Saddam Hussein did was ok. He was a murdering scumbag and he most certainly committed crimes. That doesn't give America the authority to intervene. It doesn't mean Americans should die over there. The invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with defending America, and nothing to do with "liberating oppressed Iraqi people". It had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction either. America isn't the police of the world or the enforcer of UN sanctions.

I wish freedom for the people of Iraq and the people of everywhere else. They must win their own freedom, and I must win mine.

It is posts like this that ring true that keeps me from dismissing you, Radar.

I don't like the tenor of your attacks in other recent posts, but I can't argue with this one.

You are completely correct here. Well spoken.

Radar, you're a bigger idiot for not getting the big picture. Libertarianism promotes anarchy. Whether it's individual, or corporate. Governments exist to prevent anarchy. The founding fathers were not anarchists or libertarians. The created a constitution of laws. Not perfect, but with provision for amendment. Take away the laws, you take away our liberty.
