You damn right, Libertarians believe in the right for a soverign nation to fight it's aggressors for it's people. But you won't find this from the wishy-washy Democrats/Republicans. They are too worried about stepping upon the EU toes before principle and our Constitution.

Israel is a free, Westernized country, which recognizes the individual rights of its citizens (such as their right to liberty and freedom of speech)

A theocratic nationalist socialist country which has liberal identity politics and victimolgy down pat and which ranks #43 (below Canada, the UK,Bahrain, The United Arab Emirates, Chile and Cambodia) on the Heritage Index of Economic Freedom I would not describe as "free." If what Israel is can be said to be "westernized" that is not a positive for Israel but a negative for the west.

Should not have to point this out but lest anyone get any silly ideas, all the national socialist theocratic governments near Israel are a thousand times worse than Israel. But that doesn't make Israel a shining city on a hill.

I'm watching nightline right now and Israel is losing the PR war "Big Time" !

ABC is letting the palis go on and on and on.

It looks like Israel will win the battle but lose the war?

"( of course they [libertarians] won't be mainstream because they are pretty strongly Athiest )." -- weikel

All of American government (controlled by Democrats/Republicans) has gravitated towards atheism. Your point is useless.

No I don't mean libertarians I mean objectivist( Ayn Rand did not like religion) im not religious myself I'm a Deist who believes that the chain of cause and effect must go back eventually to an "uncaused cause" for the origin of the Universe.

Gloria Steinem says she's oppressed by men too and the feminist use it to justify their assinine and totalitarian agenda it doesn't mean what they say is true.
