There is nothing conservative about questioning the removal of an evil despotic enemy of the US. Now, I suppose you are going to tell me that Saddam may have been an enemy, but posed no danger. Yeah, that's what the left said about Stalin, too.

Gad, there you go again.

Libertarian: a person who upholds the principles of absolute and unrestricted liberty especially of thought and action; Webster

Conservative: a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change; Webster

Any Claim to Conservative ideals by any staunch Libertarian is a bald faced lie. Libertarians believe that individual freedom means that the government shouldn't be able to tell people what to do unless they agree with it as individuals.

What they continually forget is that the Government IS the people, and that we live in a Representative Republic so that the "general welfare" can be considered rather than being slaveishly subjegated to "individual rights", to do whatever they want, regardless of the majority opinion or societal impact.
