re: Also oil supplies would still be a concern even if our consumption was low enough that we currently didn't import any oil. Maybe a minor concern, worth of a comment or two by the State Department. Not worthy of a $1Trillion+ war. re: They are not the same in general, but their the same in terms of what we are talking about. No, they are not. Police forces are standard operating procedure to enforce the law. Wars are not the normal state of things... they are entirely elective unless we are attacked. re: A basic principle of libertarianism is to reduce the initiation of force (sometimes expressed as "force or fraud"), Saddam imposed a lot of force on people within his country, and occasionally on other countries. Stopping that is hardly required by the libertarian viewpoint, but its certainly not against that idea. That's not what I read. Google Libertarian and non-interventionist.
