War! What is it good for? Answer: Taxes

Tthe libertarian point of view is one of non-intervention.

True non-intervention though. We have several hundred thousand troops deployed world wide, not including iraq or afgahnistan. Although we support afghanistan 100%, and would actually have liked to seen more troops their, but that's another topic.
Why do the American people need to pay for this with their hard earned tax dollars?
The best way to bring about democracy is through free trade. No countries with free trade have ever attacked each other, and free trade, and freedom in general, is the best way to democracy.
The truth is more people have died than will be saved. Many of whom had nothing to do with WMD's, Terrorism, Saddam or whatever fear factor....

If we want to go after terrorist, fine. But no need for a war or occupation(s) for that...
we could have taken saddam out many other ways, if only we supported the ICC more, but alas we are too greedy with our power, like most other things in America. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE IT!

But really we could go around in circles all night long. Its not like this war is all bad, it does have its postives, the bottom line for me is this, I don't want to spend my tax dollars on it. Much in the same way many don't want to spend (and shouldn't have to!) their tax dollars on abortion.

I want small government, geared towards an individualist society.
