Post-Libertarianism

This article in Samizdata is illustrative, well the comments are fun.

It would be interesting to point out the inherant absurdity of claiming that one is a Liberatarian because you want to use taxpayers money to liberate Iraqis from Saddam, but that left libertarians are wrong because they want to use taxpayers money to liberate sick people from disease. But then as someone who is never quite sure whether I am a Libertarian I won't enter into this apart from to note that this war will probably see many lapsed Libertarians in a few years.
