Libertarian Party Chair Mark Hinkle asserts that Arabs hate us because we bomb them. Gadaffi is no friend of liberty, but the military involvement of the United States in the rebellion against him threatens to undermine the credibility of the resistance to his rule and turn him into a hero. As news of both actual and rumored killings of innocent civilians by American bombs spreads throughout the Arab world, the hatred which spawned the 9/11 murderers will continue to grow. Libertarians advocate the foreign policy eloquently described by Thomas Jefferson at his inauguration: Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.
Hinkle notes that just as the Founding Fathers expressed admiration for the Swiss Model of armed neutrality that has managed to keep Switzerland out of the vicious wars of Europe for hundreds of years, we should embrace the idea that the purpose of an American military is the defense of American soil, period. As Senator Barack Obama said in criticizing the Bush administration, the President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.
Men who are free to produce, have no incentive to loot; they have nothing to gain from war and a great deal to lose. Ideologically, the principle of individual rights does not permit a man to seek his own livelihood at the point of a gun, inside or outside his country. Economically, wars cost money; in a free economy, where wealth is privately owned, the costs of war come out of the income of private citizens — there is no overblown public treasury to hide that fact — and a citizen cannot hope to recoup his own financial losses (such as taxes or business dislocations or property destruction) by winning the war. Thus his own economic interests are on the side of peace.
The Butterfly Effect proves that you only need a major warmonger to transform a minor incident to world war. Winston Spencer,Churchill's sadomasochist career lasted half a century, and no other Western warmonger was more calamitous for his country and civilization than Churchill. More than any other kleptocrat, in 1914 and 1939, Churchill lusted for war, his
weird ac-dc foreplay, and pushed his country to turn two European wars into
world wars. Both times, he succeeded, and those wars, that together took the
lives of a hundred million Europeans, were the most infamous mortal blows on
humanity. If Churchill did not interfere, Hitler could have wiped out communism
from the surface of Earth by 1942.
Adolf Hitler had limited geopolitical aims, just to liberate Eastern Europe from
the yoke of communism, but the excitable warmoger Churchill overreacted. Hitler
was not out to conquer the world, he loved and admired Britons, he let the
British army evacuate from Dunkirk, and he built a defensive line between
Germany and France, the Siegfried Line. Churchill's decision to bomb a shattered
Germany between January and May 1945 was a war crime. When Churchill entered the
inner Cabinet as First Lord in 1911, Britain was the first nation on Earth and
ruler of the greatest empire since Rome. The sun never set on the British
Empire. When Churchill left in 1945, Britain was a poor island. He was a Great
Man, at the cost of his country's greatness.
Before becoming premier, Churchill received envoys from Hitler in 1938 and met
with Nazi Ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop, who sought to convince Churchill,
who favored war, of the benefits of appeasement. Ribbentrop, the host, and
Churchill stood together in front of an enormous map in the German Embassy in
London, while Ribbentrop explained how the Germans could eliminate communism.
He assured Churchill that the British Empire would be left untouched. Churchill, however, was not convinced.
Most Americans opposed entry into World War II, primarily because they had experienced the destructive idiocy of U.S. intervention into World War I, a war that accomplished nothing more than the wasteful sacrifice of thousands of American lives, not to mention giving rise to Adolf Hitler and, ultimately, World War II. Even though World War II saved Europe from the Nazis,
the Eastern Europeans were delivered into the hands of America's communist partner in WW II, the Soviet Union.
The largest kickbacks originate in the military industry. Military procurement is a corrupt business from top to bottom. The process is dominated by advocacy, with few checks and balances. Most people in power love this system of doing business and do not want it changed. War and preparation for war systematically corrupt all parties to the state-private transactions by which the government obtains the bulk of its military products. There is a standard 10% kickback to kleptocrats for military purchases.
Participants in the military-industrial-kleptocrat complex(MIKC) are routinely blamed for mismanagement, not infrequently they are accused of waste, fraud, abuse, and kickbacks(WFAK), and from time to time a few of them are indicted for criminal offenses. All of these unsavory actions, however, are typically viewed as aberrations, misfeasances to be rectified or malfeasances to be punished while retaining the basic system of state-private cooperation in the production of military goods and services. These offenses are in reality expressions of a thoroughgoing, intrinsic rottenness in the entire setup.
