Pat Fallon opined:
Or liberatarianism, as now constituted is just a figleaf for isolationism.
<<Libertarians have for years warned that our interventionist foreign policy
breeds enemies world wide. In the past, with 2 wide oceans and friendly
neighbors north and south, we Americans could go about our lives in blissful
ignorance, while, for example, our CIA overthrew the popularly supported
Prime Minister of Iran and helped install and prop up a dictatorial shah for
over 25 years. But eventually that caught up with us. Iranians overthrew the
shah, sacked our embassy, and took US hostages. Anyone seeking to understand
that terrorist incident and avoid future ones would be missing quite a lot
if he didn't consider our intervention in their domestic affairs.>>
This means you buy in to the figure stated by L. Stahl, whose is and whose
sources are leftist-statist liberals. You believe such sources to be accurate
in this matter?
<<Terrorism: the initiation of force against innocent civilians to achieve
political goals.
Terrorism is the price of empire.>>
There is an empire you haven't mentioned. The Empire of Jihaddi Islamic
Imperialism. There goal seems to be bringing the Earth under their form of
Sharia (Islamic Law). That is an empire, or an imperialist movement that
needs to be viewed with alarm. Their version of Islam has Dar Salam only
happening when the earth is ruled by Sharia.
Turning inward via a isolationist foreign policy would certainly empower the
Jihaddis abroad. China, Russia, and North Korea shan't cease from selling
ICBM technology (arachaic tho' it may be) to our Jihaddi friends.
Give the buyers and sellers of nuclear profliferation, a few years with the
election of a droolingly isolationist USA and we'll see what happends.
And Atlas Shrugged won't make a decent radiation barrier from their assualts.
Perhaps the rascals can be given a stout debate to disincline from their
global goal? Yah buddy.
