“The problem is that some of those areas where libertarians rent right can have deadly consequences...”
The real problem is that libertarians will tell you that all their policies are derived from first principles and all are consistent with each other and that this means that one cannot take away one with compromising all the rest.
Perhaps the libertarians should go back, examine their ‘first principles’ and start over. If your principles lead you to an undesireable ending, then there is something wrong with your principles.

Fortunately I don't have that kind of problem, nor do I find self defense and the defense of my nation to be in violation of any principles.
Ron Paul's ideas about the WOT, specifically, are quite stupid.
