To attack before someone attacks you is no different than arresting gun owners for murders they MIGHT commit in the future. It's most certainly not defense. The very definition of defense means you don't attack unless attacked. This is defense, and nothing else is. It's also not suicide since the end result is having less enemies, less wars, and less unnecessary death.
To attack everytime someone postures or claims to be a danger to America actually IS suicide. To get involved in every dispute among every nation on earth IS suicide. To take sides in every dispute IS suicide. To stick our noses in the affairs of other nations IS suicide. This is why the oath should be exactly as I wrote it. So those I regard as non-libertarians wouldn't join the party. Having the oath as I wrote it would make those I regard as non-libertarians uncomfortable and less willing to join the party and draw it away from consistent libertarian philosophy. --- In [email protected], <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > That was on purpose.
