Perhaps that is true, but the right way is rarely the easy way...Libertarians don't feel it is our place to go around forcing others to have those other democracies.
"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders . . . All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism."
- Hermann Goering, Nazi Gestapo
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
- President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908

It would be more accurate to say of me that I mix a lot of neocon philosophy into my libertarianism. Particularly prominent is the neocon commonplace that a democracy prospers best in a world completely full of other democracies,
