Peace is the Keystone of Liberty Feb 25, 2016

Why Libertarians Should be Thoroughly Anti-War by Dan Sanchez Dan Sanchez will be delivering a speech on this topic for "Liberty on the Rocks" in downtown Los Angeles on March 12, 2016. Click here for details. The anti-war movement desperately needs libertarian leadership. And the libertarian movement urgently needs to be strongly anti-war. So in this essay I will offer some chief reasons for every libertarian to be 100% non-interventionist and actively engaged in the cause of peace. Libertarianism embraces the individual’s right to life, liberty, and property. The meaning of these rights have been intentionally distorted by some, but...

US General Predicts ‘Disaster’ Over Aging Mosul Dam Jan 30, 2016

“When it goes, it’s going to go fast,” MacFarland warned, citing a 2006 US Army Corps of Engineers report which labeled it “the most dangerous dam in the world,” and projected half a million civilians would die in a collapse. The general added that if the dam was in the US, they would’ve long since drained the lake to avoid a catastrophe.

Humiliation and Herd-Think Jan 20, 2016

How Dare You Disrespect My Captors by Dan Sanchez Libertarian stand-up comic Doug Stanhope has said: “Nationalism does nothing but teach you to hate people you never met, and to take pride in accomplishments you had no part in.” I would only quibble with the “nothing but” part. The collectivist herd-think that is nationalism also teaches you to take offense at imagined insults that have absolutely nothing to do with you personally. Take for example the outrage of American nationalists over President Obama’s dealings with Iran. They denounce the nuclear deal that his administration negotiated (which on Saturday led to...

After Me, the Jihad Jan 18, 2016

Gaddafi’s Unheeded Warning to the West by Dan Sanchez Before the French Revolution and its Reign of Terror, Louis XV predicted, “After me, the Deluge.” Before being overthrown, Libya’s secular dictator tried to warn the West of a new Reign of Terror, essentially foretelling, “After me, the Jihad.” This was disclosed with the recent release of phone conversations from early 2011 between Muammar Gaddafi and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The West was then gearing up to use unrest in Libya as a pretext for military intervention and regime change. Gaddafi desperately tried to convey through Blair the folly of such...

IAEA Report Expected This Weekend, Iran Sanctions Relief Days Away Jan 16, 2016

by Jason Ditz Iran is believed to have finalized all of its responsibilities under the P5+1 nuclear deal, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is poised to issue a statement, likely on Saturday, which would affirm Iran’s full compliance with the pact. Once that’s done, the P5+1 nations are obliged to start sanction relief for Iran, with the European Union suggesting their implementation is likely to begin more or less immediately after the IAEA makes its statement. The US is also expected to follow suit quickly, with Secretary of State John Kerry expected to meet with EU foreign policy...

Saudi Arabia and Israel: An Axis of Convenience Jan 15, 2016

by Dan Sanchez Geopolitics makes strange bedfellows. Take Israel and Saudi Arabia for instance. The two Middle Eastern powers might be expected to have zero common ground. Israel is the arch-colonizer of Arabs and Muslims, while Saudi Arabia governs the motherland of the Arabs and the two capitals of Islam, Mecca and Medina. The two do not even have formal diplomatic relations. Yet since 2006, and especially since the 2011 Arab Spring, Israel and Saudi Arabia have been close de facto allies in what might be called the Crescent Wars: a sustained assault against the “Shia Crescent” (Iran, Syria, Yemen, Hezbollah, and to...

10 Tourists Killed in ISIS Suicide Bombing in Istanbul Jan 12, 2016

by Jason Ditz A suspected ISIS suicide bomber detonated a bomb in an historic district of Istanbul, Turkey today, killing 10 people, all tourists, and wounding 15 others. The slain were identified as nine Germans and one Peruvian. The wounded haven’t all been identified but are also believed to be chiefly tourists. Turkish deputy prime minister Numan Kurtulmus identified the attacker as a 28-year-old from Syria. Though no other officials directly confirmed this, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also said the attacker was an ISIS member. There has been no claim of responsibility yet, however, and Turkey isn’t exactly short on...

The Legacy of Murray Rothbard Jan 8, 2016

by Justin Raimondo There would undoubtedly be no Antiwar.com if it hadn’t been for Murray N. Rothbard. I am writing this column on January 7, the twenty-first anniversary of his death, and I can’t think of a more important topic at a time when the issue of war and peace looms larger than any other. For those readers unfamiliar with the great libertarian theoretician and polymath, I refer you to my 2000 biography: An Enemy of the State: The Life of Murray N. Rothbard (Prometheus Book). Suffice to say here that he was the inspirer and de facto founder of...
