It's unlibertarian to initiate aggression, even against someone who is using aggression against a third-party who didn't ask you for help. It's unlibertarian to use force against anyone who is not using it against you first. It's also unconstitutional to start wars with a defensive military, especially without a Constitutionally required formal declaration of war has not been made by Congress.
Libertarians are against government stepping beyond its limited authority. Libertarians are also against forcing our brand of freedom on to others.
I, and other libertarians, do support your right to go on your own or to put together a private militia to go about overthrowing monsters in other countries as long as you don't expect any support from America when you do it.
Also, I'm very willing to shoot socialists and fascists as long as they are attacking people right here in America. The people in other countries have to worry about their own monsters unless they can find suicidal, unlibertarian, war-mongering, idiots to come into their own country to help them overthrow their oppressors. Before I worry about the freedom of people in other countries, I prefer to worry about the freedom of my own countrymen. America is far from the free country it started as, and it's getting less free all the time.
