A country is a culture. It is not a piece of dirt where people do business. I guess that's why I'm surprised to see something like this on a libertarian website.

Well, I hardly ever frequent Lew Rockwell, but I could certainly see that this was a great article. It puts the information out on the line for scorn, as it goes for it, no holds barred.

Understandable. A lot of people confuse the Libertarian Party with libertarianism (small "l"). Lew Rockwell was a close friend of Murray Rothbard, and Rothbardian libertarianism is culturally conservative.

Rothbard criticized the more juvenile libertarians (the ones that think it's all about legalizing drugs) as "modal" libertarians. Rothbard himself broke with the Libertarian Party way back.
