Then I became gradually alienated by the widespread, although not unanimous, appeasenik (“noninterventionist”) sentiment in the mainstream of the libertarian movement, which includes the Party. The late Murray Rothbard, and the Ron Paul/Lew Rockwell crowd, had successfully sold their phony historical narrative denying the dire necessity of American military actions.

At that point, as a pro-Israel libertarian warmonger, I seemed to be doubly marginalized.

But then came…the blogosphere! I can now identify as a Glenn Reynolds libertarian. There are Pajamas Media and Samizdata, and Shire Network News is one of my favorite podcasts. And history will demonstrate that advancing liberty in Iraq and protecting it in Israel are in America’s essential security interests.
