The author of this article pigeonholes me among the "pro-war" libertarians. There's no such thing as pro-war libertarianism. Libertarianism is anti-State therefore anti-war. Libertarianism is not a political position but a moral philosophy. In some of my writings I acknowledged the moral libertarian position while while concluding that there were no satisfactory moral options available: any outcome was non-libertarian, unsatisfactory from a libertarian analysis, and my analysis was choosing between greater and lesser evils. I later wrote that some of what I'd previously written was my losing my way due to the trauma of 9/11. But much of what I wrote was still inveighing against using 9/11 as the excuse for a decrease in the people's liberties while pursuing our survival.
