Friday, October 31, 2003 Dear Friends of FFF, Last week I traveled to St. Louis, Missouri, to deliver a speech entitled The Moral Bankruptcy of U.S. Foreign Policy to about 60 students at Washington University. What a great time that was! The talk was sponsored by the Libertarian Club at WU, one of most impressive college libertarian groups Ive ever seen. I spoke for about 40 minutes about U.S. foreign policy, specifically about the U.S. governments policy of supporting cruel and brutal dictators, the horrific things that U.S. officials did to the Iraqi people for the past 12 years, including the intentional destruction of Iraqs sewage and water treatment plants followed by the 12-year embargo that contributed widespread death and impoverishment, the stationing of American troops on Islamic holy lands, and the unconditional financial and military support for whatever the Israeli government does, ...

Shame on WorldNetDaily

Several days ago, WorldNetDaily, a conservative website, published an article entitled Libertarians Who Loathe Israel, by Ilana Mercer (email), a self-described libertarian who is a WND columnist.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Ryan, who prosecuted the case, announced: “We consider it a validation of this country’s efforts to crack down on trafficking of cocaine.” Say what? What in the world could he be talking about? If he’s referring to the government’s commitment to continue waging the war on drugs, which has been going on since at least the 1970s, why would anyone need any validation of that? Who doubts that the feds remain committed to doing what they’ve been doing for the past 30 years -- prosecuting and convicting drug dealers and drug users? In fact, the process has been going on so long that it’s difficult to stifle a yawn whenever one hears of a new drug conviction or a ...
