Harry ain't here, so why is this article?
Because it's a great article by a great man.

So there's nothing morally wrong with violating the terms of a peace treaty. But in doing so, you DO justify (in as much as the original war was justified) a re-start of hostilities
The original was wasn't justified at all.

Hitler's Germany, back when he re-occupied the Rhineland, couldn't be compared to Hitler's Germany as it became. There may be reasons Iraq is different, but off-the-cuff dismissal like this is exactly the sort of thing history really DOES teach against.
History shows us that our military interventionism was precisely why Hitler came to power in the first place. If America hadn't stuck our noses into WWI, there never would have been a Hitler or a WWII and the 10 million Russians, 6 million Jews, untold number of millions of Chinese, Italians, Americans, English, etc. never would have been killed. In fact our previous intervention is why Saddam came to power. If America hadn't helped Saddam come to power in an effort against Iran, he wouldn't be a thorn in our side or anyone else's. Actually Saddam and Iraq pose no danger to America or any other country on earth. Not one shred of evidence has been brought forth to prove they are.

When will our country learn that our military interventionism creates problems instead of destroying them. History also shows that when we have a complicated web of treaties promising military intervention (which happens to be unconstitutional) into other countries a small squabble or event (the murder of 1 man) can turn into a bloody world war killing millions.

Harry, you're just an embarrassment to yourself and to the party you claim to represent.
Harry is not an embarrassment to anyone but his intelligence and common sense do embarrass the Republicans and Democrats who are too frightened to debate him. Harry Browne is a great man and is a better candidate for president than any Republican or Democrat that has ever held the office. It's only a shame he won't run again.
