War is a good thing. It is a very modern idea that war is bad. On the contrary, for a variety of reasons, I think that war makes society a better place.

And on that other issue, I continue to believe that Libertarianism is about legalized drugs, with all other issues trailing far, far behind.

How many tyrants have surrendered power when axed nicely?

The correct question is “WHICH war is necessary to ensure liberty?”

Some military campaigns exist only for the liberty of [some of] those executing them. Just because our boys are at war does not mean the war is necessary for our liberty.

Some wars are, of course, vital to ensuring liberty.

No. War is to be avoided at almost all costs. It is a last resort.
