The only similarity is that both believe we shouldn't have been in the Near East in the first place, a position the Founding Fathers were in total agreement with (read Washington's farewell address, and his advice about staying out of foreign wars).
Our foreign policy has been insane for decades. It was only a matter of time until Americans would have to suffer personally for it. It is a terrible tragedy of life that the innocent so often have to suffer for the sins of the guilty.
When will we learn that we can't allow our politicians to bully the world without someone bullying back eventually?
And it would be very very easy to supply a large number of such quotes.
Now I grant you that, although the majority of libertarians are opposed to the War on Terror & War on Islam, That a smaller faction of libertarians is in fact supporting our government. One is now on the city council I think of Leadville, CO but I can't recall his name.
To CommieBasher-"Republican smoking reefers"?? Please, that exposes your absurdity. As to the War on Islam - true Bush does not call it that - and in fact defends Islam the religion. But consider: "War on Terror" does not compute. Terror is a tactic, not a person or group. You might say instead that we war on Islamic terrorists. But check out the polls on Mideast Arabs. The majority hate America, either think that 9/11 was a Mossad action or if UBL did it then he is a hero. No, I think this is Crusades II, except that Chistendom is gone and now it is just Western Civ.
