It seems that the way "today's society" is, it is inevitable that we are going to continue sticking our fingers into other people's business, be it trying to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons -- or stopping "entrepreneurs" from implanting "nirvana electrodes" into people's brains, or selling powerful psychodelic drugs in candy stores.

As you said yourself, that's the reality. Our technologies are advanced, and we are darn too powerful. In several ways we are traveling in uncharted waters. Even if we watch our step, we'll have plenty of "trouble ahead".... Libertarian views may have strong appeal, but many ideas often become problematic in their excessively purist form.
