My argument is simple,the Iraq war was started by greed, and connections.
GREED:
1.One issue about Iraq is Oil.
2.Bush is well CONNECTED to Big Oil. (Daddy Bush has lots of money in Big Oil, and for Bush junior, theres allways the Oil Lobby.)

I read through quite a few of the "libertarian" profiles on here and i kept seeing a disturbing trend of libertarians being in favor of war.
War anywhere outside of your own country is inconsistent with a belief in small government. All foreign wars, without exception have expanded the size and power of government.
