The big-L Libertarians will sneer at you for agreeing, but bin Laden really does attack us because of our freedoms.
From a big L libertarian:
I think you are absolutely right. Perhaps i am not much of a Libertarian any more, (and more of a Republican) but theocracy is evil and it ought to be vanquished. I find it hypocritical of "liberal-libertarians" to profess freedom from a "principled" position, but then sit back and say things like: "well, they (the arab world) aren't ready for democracy." Nevermind the fact that woman are opressed, original thought is extinguished and due process non-existent.
While I respectfully disagree with your analysis of what a "libertarian-future" may look like, I think your criticisms of libertarian attitudes to foreign policy are as naive as the "educated" hippy liberal protesting their lack of free speach on college campuses.
I love your blog...and I only wish I had a martini everytime I read it.
