Why such primitive concepts? My PPA has no motivation to occupy Iraq, just
eliminate its leadership and terrorist apparatus. It also has no Presidential
Order against asassination of foreign leaders. Massive war machines are a
vestige of the centralized nation state. Guerrilla insurgencies, covert ops,
espionage, surgical smart weapons, and other surreptitious inexpensive
options are the libertarian solution.
