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.

The LP is, and as a rule so are libertarians, however, not when it comes to terrorist strikes.

I am certainly not an isolationist Libertarian but I am deeply worried about this new "strategy". Iraq won't be a problem but who is the next "domino" in Bush's great "strategy"? And how long will it take before the rest of the potential dominoes, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Libya, North Korea, China, etc. realize that they would be better off to join forces and attack us immediately instead of waiting until we pick them off one at a time? Is that a battle we can win? And whatever happened to Bush's claim in the debates that unlike Gore, He, Bush would not be nation building? Throughout history every nation that has ever tried to conquer the world has failed and in the process doomed their own civilization.
