No war has ever solved any problems for very long, that's why libertarians always suggest we look for different approaches--it's just so obvious that wars never resolve anything, but a lot of people do suffer and die. Everyone holds up WWII has the "just" war. FDR did all he could to get the US involved in order to pursue his social agenda. He was no better than Stalin. America hasn't been right since the Civil War went to the North.
The biggest beef I have about the current war is that it is like VietNam--Congress has not officially declared war, but has allowed the executive branch dictatorial leeway. The destruction of civil liberties is taking place at blinding speed--Ashcroft has just about nullifed the 6th Amendment now. The Patriot Act, which most of our reps didn't even read, has gutted the 4th Amendment. The 1st is only an illusion--try speaking out against the war right now. The 2nd isn't faring any better.
The war looks to me like a big dog and pony show for the American people. There will be no real resolution, no victory over terrorism. Terrorism has been around as long as humanity.
You can't destroy freedom in the name of preserving it, even after what took place on Sept. 11.
I beg to differ with you--libertarians have been offering lots of good, workable solutions to lots of different problems, and few have ever heeded the advice. The sanest, most rational voices are shouted down by emotional (and often very leftist) agendas.
