Boy, is this going p.o. the peaceniks and Libertarians.

Well, I consider myself libertarian on most issues (with the biggest distinction from the Big L's of opposing open borders), and I like what I've seen so far just fine. One cannot value freedom without realizing that it isn't free, and that we must not sit back and wait to be attacked.

It's my understanding that Libertarians are somewhat pro isolationist. This new "strategy" is contrary to that position and will expand America's pro-active involvement with the World, including more nation building.

You're not alone. Many many people who consider themselves libertarians have been horrified by the antiwar postures of a lot of self-anointed libertarians. It may even be the majority but I don't know. I'd consider myself a fairly hawkish libertarian, much more so than Cato or Reason let's say. Unfortunately the peaceniks wing is very vocal because, well, so many of them have no life. Ahem.
