What kind of cognitive dissonance can explain Jackson's knowledge of austrian economics and classical liberalism on the one hand, and his blind devotion to Bush and the neo-cons

This is a common mindset among most Australian libertarians. They oppose state intervention in the economy, but are perfectly happy for it to bomb other countries (and their economy) into oblivion. I put it down to the fact that Australia is a satellite state of the American empire, and hence even so-called libertarians cannot fathom that we could ever have an independent foreign policy. If anyone dares criticise Bush and Cheney, they are automatically anti-American, according to Australian libertarian thought.
