And BTW, the coming war in Iraq is NOT an initiation of hostilities. It is a resumption of the war started by Iraq when it invaded Kuwait, and placed on hold when Saddam agreed to a cease fire agreement. He has violated the agreement, and now the war continues. Kinda like a pause button on the VCR.
Please explain:
  1. How does attacking a another country, not formally allied to us, constitute initiating force against us?
  2. If I tunnel under your fence and steal your property, have you initiated hostilities or have I?
  3. If the police fabricate photos in order to arrest you after you retaliate for my theft, is that reasonable or just?
  4. If I gave you the gun that you shot me with after I stole your property and framed, would you consider my complaints justifiable?
And I'm tired of you left wing morons continuing to push that lie!!!!!
So, by posting an article written by someone else, containing his opinion (which I DO agree with) I have now become a "left wing moron"???

Sheep.

Razz, You posted the article originally. The reply to your post isn't directed at you, it's directed at the article (and the author of the article) you posted. That's kinda how it works here on FR. How else can I reply to the article unless I reply to post #1?

Only if you agree with him.

Re-read this guy's position. Someone stealing my property or breaking into my home IS NOT attacking a human being, he's attacking property, and if I attack that person for doing so, in his world, I'm initiating the attack against a human being.

This guy is NOT a libertarian, as much as he'd like everyone to believe he is.

As to #3 and #4, I have no idea what you're talking about.
