I like the way he misrepresents what I perceive Libertarian beliefs to be.
A true libertarian is not a pacifist, indeed they are probably some of the most vociferous defenders of a military because they realize the need to protect liberty from reach of tyrants
Would a libertarian have been able to stop 9/11? I doubt it. Just like neither the Bush administration nor the Clinton administration could have.
The issue is not what happened. It is what is done about it. Libertarians are not pacifist. They just oppose preemptive invasions

I don’t actually blame the invasion of Iraq so much on GW Bush as I do Tony Blair. He had been agitating for an invasion of Iraq since at least 1998 but the UK is too weak to do that and Bill Clinton wouldn’t bite. I don’t think G.W. Bush would have invaded if not for 9/11.
Iraq, or so it appears to me was playing a dangerous game.
I believe the Iraqi government was afraid of Iran and wanted the region to think it had vast stocks of chemical weapons to deter an attack by the Iranians. The Iraqi government knew they were not liked and didn’t think they could count on any help0 from anyone else. (Probably a wise assumption) but by playing games with the inspectors they kept a seed of doubt alive in the minds the Iranian military. I don’t think the Iraqi government thought they would ever be invaded.
That’s a painful contortion to not blame Bush for his policies.
