    There are always some radical right isolationists, like Pat Buchanan,
    as well as some "I got mine, screw you" radical isolationist
    libertarians. Isolationism and head-in-the-sandism are not totally
    exclusive to the radical left, they are just more prevalent there. Even
    libertarians of less than adequate scrotal integrity can forget or
    ignore the warning that occasionally, free men have good reason to
    associate to combat evil.

    BTW: Saddam just fired a SCUD missile today at Kuwait City. This is a
    SCUD missile which he previously claimed he did not have and which the
    UN has prohibited him from having for more than a decade. (A SCUD has a
    range of 300-400 miles, while a Samud missile has a range of a little
    over 150 km. Radar tracking of the trajectory can easily determine the
    launch point, and therefore the range identifies the missile).

    This, in addition to radio chatter by Iraqi forces about distributing
    chemical artillery shells, indicates facts that the UN, France, and
    Hans Blix spent 4.5 months trying to shuffle under the rug.
