The NAP, of course, is not the be-all and end-all of libertarianism. . .

Which is my view of it. Seems to me the
sine qua non of libertarianism is to limit the governmental sphere to quite a small part of the life of the polity, rather than any attachment in any degree to an unsustainable (albeit neighborly) philosophy like pacifism. If pacifism is not to kill its practitioner, the practitioner must under certain circumstances discard it in order to survive those circumstances. Almost no other philosophy of life has this problem.
