Boy, and people say libertarian philosophy doesn’t work in the “real” world. Well, this is as real-world as it gets, and their statist attitude here and in Iraq is killing them.

If you want to help the poor and liberate them then you need a gold based currency system, and not a debt based one. Not to mention that killing the war on drugs would go a long way to satbilize the place, a long way toward driving down the financing of the resistance, and a long way toward culturing popularity. In addition, everything possible should be done to encourage the private ownership of weapons. It should be an outright criminal offence to require any permit, government pre-approval, or license for anything whatsoever.
