You have clearly not read much of Browne's position. His position, and that of other very intelligent and reasonable people, is that without the unnecessary, unwarranted, and unprovoked American involvement in World War I, and America's part in the Versailles treaty, the conditions that allowed Hitler to come to power would never have existed and there never would have been a WWII. There never would have been nukes developed, and we most likely wouldn't have had a cold war either.
America's interventionism put Hitler in power. It also put Hussein, Khadafi, Noriega, Khomeini, and other such men in power, and funded and trained Osama Bin Laden. How many times must our unconstitutional military interventionism bite us on the ass before the war mongering idiots admit America has no authority beyond our own borders, and is not the boss of the world. When will these imperialists learn their lesson? My guess is never because their skulls are too thick, and their brains too small to ever get it. Also, America did not have a valid justification to be involved in WWII until America committed an act of war against Japan (cutting off their oil, steel, and other supplies coming from the Netherlands) without provocation knowing full well that Japan would retaliate. Then America allowed Pearl Harbor to be attacked even though we knew they were coming, so the American people would be so upset, they'd be forced to take part in the war. The same thing happened in WWI, when America violated its neutrality agreement with Germany and shipped weapons to England in a cruise ship (converted from a war ship). Then when it was sunk, America claimed to be the victim. Harry Browne's position is the valid libertarian one. Iraq NEVER posed a threat to America, NEVER intentionally or directly attacked American soil or ships, NEVER helped anyone else attack America, NEVER funded any attacks against America, and NEVER did anything that warranted an attack from America in the entire recorded history of the planet earth up until this moment. America had no justification to invade Iraq in 1991, in 2005 or at any point between. There is no valid libertarian justification for the war in Iraq, and there are no actual libertarians who support the war in Iraq. --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I read over Harry Browne's view about America's involvement in WWII and find > it appalling.
