You're just trying get off the pungi stick you set for yourself.

That is beautiful. Again, you are incorrect and try to make it sound like me. Look at the title of this thread. Anyone care to back up this clown's statements?

The Libertarian party is against the nation building process and would like to see an immediate withdrawal of all troops from Iraq.

Here a link to there official website.

Shhh... don't quote the Libertarian position, as stated in their website, back to Libertarians. They feel that freedom includes the freedom to ignore what their party stands for and to make it up as they go along...

Since, the word "libertarian" was at the beginning of the title, you could mean "libertarian".

I believe a correctly libertarian response would be: "We broke it, promised to fix it, and now have an obligation to fix it."

As for the draft... that's easy.

Actually young Fes, the question was what is the Libertarian stance on the war. The Libertarian stance on the war is that we should pull out immediately.

Is it?

It could have just as easily said "libertarian".

Frankly, since the Libertarian Reform Caucus of Bullshit Vote-Whoring, I don't much care.

That's actually amusing.

Feslin you are confusing my fragile British mind. What is the Libertarian attitude to the draft ?
BTW I think most Irqis would rather we left. The pretending our presence there is somehow for their benefit has gotten kind of old......

It's immoral.

Pretending?

When we leave, there will be a huge power vacuum.

And do you know what happens when power vacuums are sought after by many different groups?

People die.

Lots, and lots, of people.
