I supported going after the Taliban, Al Quedia and the violent
faction of Islam but it is very unwise to send a bull (The Pentagon)
into a china shop to pick out dishes for your daughters weeding. It
puzzles me that those libertarians who were for the war understand
the problem of Central top/ down monoply management when it comes to
schools and the economy but are unwilling to see the folly in
backing the very eneffective, wasteful and costly Penatgon in their
foreign ventures. I guess a lot of libertarians are blind to the
problems of there favorite government program but it basically gets
down to arguing what should be taught in public schools. The correct
answer of course would be nothing should be taught in government
schools because there should not be any government schools.
Seperation of powers dicates that the US miltary and the state miltia
( which should be build up and trained) should except on the rare
occasion stay home and defend the US against massive invasion.
Homeland Security would be better done by the county or local
governments and the private sector and the local miltia's ( which
should be build up and
trained.
Foreign ventures would be best dealt with by private groups
either for profit or non profit, the US miltary should only help when
it is actually constitutional to do so and they would not get in the
way of the private groups doing their job. Private groups should be
held legally and finacally reponsible for their actions, the fullest
liablity possible. It very well may be we want to limit the liablity
of the President,and Congress and the US miltary forces which would
be another good reason to seperate out foreign ventures to the
private sector.--- In [email protected], "Eric Dondero
