However, comments like this after 9/11 from Mr Browne caused me to shift away from the LP for good:
"It is American foreign policy that has provoked the attacks, not anything inherent in Muslim fundamentalism."
He spoke the truth. Our state department has supported the rise of fanatical Islam since the 1960s.

I never heard Harry Browne's post-9-11 comments and don't agree with equating the U.S. Government -- even at its worst -- with bin Laden, but I do admire Browne's courage in speaking his mind regardless of the popularity of his opinions and his dedication to libertarian principles. His passion, energy, and eloquence were unsurpassed by any other Libertarian presidential candidate.

Yeah, Browne was just right on target with every word that left his mouth, wasn't he? Here's another good one:
"If Afghanistan doesn't turn bin Laden over to our government, ask yourself whether you'd want your government to turn you over to the Iranian government if it accused you of a crime."
