IRAQ
Anthony Gregory on July 23, 2007 at 8:29 PM
"It's not a matter of self-defense; it's the question of whether the state is legitimate. I am all for charity; that doesn't mean I support the welfare state. I'm all for defense; that doesn't mean I support the warfare state.
And the idea that the Iraq war could have ever been squared in any sense with self-defense is just absurd."

Deductive Reasoning
Syllogism
The state by nature is a threat to life, liberty, and property;
War is the health of the state (Bourne);
War is thus by nature a threat to life, liberty, and property;
No libertarian can consistently support what is by nature a threat to life, liberty, and property;
Ergo, no libertarian can support war.
