I think that is where all this confusion about "pro-war libertarianism" <BR/>(neolibertarianism actually) is coming from. Please, I say to my fellow neolibertarians, be clear and coherent when you write about such things so claims like this do not come up in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10623297.post-55634800882836027282007-11-27T14:02:00.000-06:002007-11-27T14:02:00.000-06:00Let me add one more thing to my previous comment. ...Let me add one more thing to my previous comment. You cannot run a nation with your hands tied behind your back. With the elections coming up, who will have the "balls" to "do the right thing" - whatever that may be! Will President Bush make a grand slam stand before he exits office? I wonder what, if anything, they will do. Will some grand gesture, seem so outrageous, or so ridiculous? Only the present can read the past. I think we all know that the middle east, in general, has been at war with itself for over 5000 years. You cannot put a bandaid on this. No matter how many peace treaties they sign - seems to me it is done with vanishing ink.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10623297.post-90000348422911603392007-11-27T13:45:00.000-06:002007-11-27T13:45:00.000-06:00As a New Yorker, I am truly upset by the actions o...As a New Yorker, I am truly upset by the actions of 9/11. Is it true that every other state in our union, and of course our allies could truly understand this? My young cousin went to IRAQ and got half of his face blown off. I don't know what to say about all this, but I do believe in our country, and all the rights we do have here.<BR/><BR/>Just that fact that people can blog their brains out proves my point. In any other nation, could we really have such freedom? We could complain all we want to and maybe we are justified in our beliefs, but I know for a fact that<BR/>we were deeply hurt as a nation, that stands on our pride of never being targeted on our homeland before the horrendous things that were done to us out of hideous beliefs of terrorists.<BR/><BR/>Even Pearl Harbor, in our Hawaii, didn't seem as horrible as what was done to us in the name of religious beliefs.<BR/><BR/>I just hope whoever is elected to office of the Presidency, can stand up to the plate and do the right thing, no matter what that is.<BR/><BR/>We are not isolationists. We are a world power. With that, comes alot of baggage. We have to protect the homefront and also protect the innocent, as best we can. The decision is a hard one, and whatever is done has to be backed by our nation, the greatest one in the world......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10623297.post-1137006208448678502006-01-11T13:03:00.000-06:002006-01-11T13:03:00.000-06:00If we lock up everyone that opposes the government...If we lock up everyone that opposes the government, I agree it would be a police state. But locking up al Qaeda members or even American citizens that have joined their Jihad against America, and who seek to fly planes into buildings killing 3,000 people, or even worse things, does not make us a police state.Don Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991386635454877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10623297.post-1137004452953673592006-01-11T12:34:00.000-06:002006-01-11T12:34:00.000-06:00You do not need to be totalitarian against everyon...<I>You do not need to be totalitarian against everyone, but terrorist cells in this country should have no protection, and an American citizen that joins a terrorist cell should lose his rights as an American citizen.</I><BR/><BR/>And if you adopt the methods you advocate to determine whether he is or isn't guilty of such things, you by definition become a totalitarian. You can't make your omelette without breaking the eggs, and if you treat someone as guilty before being proved as such you become a police state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
