Jim Henley over on Unqualified Offerings has turned a private exchange between us into a very interesting open letter to yours truly. He makes some very interesting points!

I've got to tell you, Perry, I get infuriated too. What we have is, on one side, Rothbardians arguing that prophylactic war is incompatible with limited government. On the other, self-described "anti-idiotarians" who claim to believe that it is. The identity of the actual idiots here is less clear to me than it is to some others. When you factor in the Rothbardians' least tenable thesis - that "aggressive defense" can never be anything but a smokescreen for imperialism - neither side seems to brim with promise.

Sort of Anti-anti-antiwar.com... but only sort of. I have always thought Unqualified Offerings was a daily 'must read' and this confirms it if you enjoy the illuminating spotlights of reason and insight. Thought provoking stuff.
