Tom Knapp: The Life of the Party, Pt. 4

In part four of his series, Thomas Knapp tackles the issue of the Iraq war as it pertains to the LP, and posits (echoing Justin Raimondo's ultimatum of sorts) that the LP must define itself as staunchly anti-war -- at least inasmuch as all the wars currently on the table are antithetical to libertarianism -- and that "pro-war libertarians" should be, in effect, shown the door.

I'm not ready to take a stand on the idea of a party "purge" -- it's not my intention to try and shape the party in ushc a way -- but I'll say this much: It's incontrovertible in my mind that the War on Iraq was in conflict with libertarian principles. Anyone who supported that war was reaching outside the libertarian toolbox to do so.
