Most effective way to prevent terrorism is missing from 911 report
Libertarians say

http://www.lewisnews.com/article.asp?ID=84546

WASHINGTON, DC -- The report by the September 11 commission is missing one obvious way the U.S. government could reduce the chance of another terrorist attack, Libertarians say: Quit meddling in foreign nations.


"The intelligence reform needed most right now is a more intelligent foreign policy," says Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik. "Pulling U.S. troops out of nations where they don't belong would make America much safer than appointing a thousand new intelligence czars."

"Quit meddling in foreign nations." what a crazy idea < :think:

3. YES!
Then try to sit down and start a meaningful dialog with the so called terrorist. They have legitimate grievances that we need to address.

2. Libertarians are fools or liars
They either don't recognize the flaw in their logic (hand power over to corporations, rather than the government), or they do, and simply don't care.

I'll take foreign policy advice from Michael Badnarik the day I start taking ethics advice from Bush.
