Wheres the danger?

11.0 DEFENSE

11.1 U. S. military should be deployed only where there is a clear threat to vital U. S. interests and only with the consent of the U. S. Congress.
11.2 It is the duty of the federal government to provide a system to defend against missile attacks.
11.3 No branch of the military should be put in harm's way without a clear entrance and exit strategy and a goal, which when achieved, constitutes victory.
11.4 U. S military personnel should always be under U. S. command.
11.5 U. S. armed forces should be all-volunteer.
11.6 Military draft registration should be eliminated.
11.7 Foreign aid is often more harmful than helpful and should be curtailed.

Libertarians have a more or less utopian view on foreign affairs, the concept of "open borders" being one result of that view.

If you listened to public Libertarian after 9-11, you got an earful of this view. Most resort to an interesting alternate history to justify their point of view. Almost any speech on foreign affairs by Ron Paul would be enough to illustrate the danger.
