I want it done now. Not tomorrow, not after breakfast, now.

Paraphrasing the Shawshank Redemption, now is the time libertarians across America and the world need to get out their megaphones and use the Iraq mess to galvanize opinions against military interventionism.

Watching the Sunday shows, including Martha Raddatz in Baghdad saying "I can't stress enough how chaotic things are here" as that city fears the ISIS militants' approach from just 60 miles away. "People are truly afraid, they think they're going to be attacked." And they are.

And the neocon response as Congressman Michael McCaul (Homeland Security Chair) says he spoke to a constituent today who told him "My son died in Fallujah, he believed in what he was doing, and I just want it to count for something and what I'm seeing today makes me sick."

Now is the time for libertarians to connect the day's news with the principle of non-intervention. Her son did die in vain.

Manning says US public lied to about Iraq from the start

Posted: 14 Jun 2014 09:40 PM PDT

New York (AFP) - The detained US soldier convicted of leaking a trove of secret documents to WikiLeaks made a rare foray into public life Saturday to warn Americans they were being lied to about Iraq once more.

Chelsea Manning is serving a 35-year prison sentence on espionage charges and other offenses for passing along 700,000 secret documents, including diplomatic cables and military intelligence files, to anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks in the largest-scale leak in US history.

"I understand that my actions violated the law. However, the concerns that motivated me have not been resolved," the soldier formerly known as Bradley Manning wrote in a New York Times editorial.

Rand Paul on Iraq: ‘Would Not Rule Out Air Strikes’

"In an interview with the Des Moines Register, Paul nixed the idea of sending ground troops to Iraq but said he wouldn't rule out airstrikes to assist the Iraqi government in fighting off the terrorists moving toward Baghdad:

Q. What do you think about the prospect of American ground troops invading Iraq again?

A. I think it's a mistake to put ground troops into Iraq and the main reason is that people need to reason that the people that are taking over large swaths of Iraq are now allied with the people who we were helping in Syria. So in one war, the Syrian war, we're supporting Sunnis as well as Sunni radicals that are trying to overthrow Shiites. In Iraq, we're now supporting the Shiites against the same Sunnis that really are fighting on both sides of the border. ISIS is a group that's been involved in both countries. I think when we go to war, we should go to war as a last resort. We go to war when it's clear-cut enough that you're going to tell my son or your son that they know exactly what it is that we're fighting for. I think it's confusing to our GIs to ask them to be killing people in one country that they're aiding in another country.

Q. Can you see a time when you would think it was a good idea for air strikes or to send in ground troops?

NY Times Blames Lack of Major Wars For Slow Economy

Posted: 14 Jun 2014 04:59 PM PDT

War is not the answer.
--------------------------------
The Lack of Major Wars May Be Hurting Economic Growth
JUNE 13, 2014

The continuing slowness of economic growth in high-income economies has prompted soul-searching among economists. They have looked to weak demand, rising inequality, Chinese competition, over-regulation, inadequate infrastructure and an exhaustion of new technological ideas as possible culprits.

An additional explanation of slow growth is now receiving attention, however. It is the persistence and expectation of peace.
