No Soap, Radio!

Libertarians do not believe in initiating force. But some people say it’s okay to bomb other countries in self-defense, killing innocent people in the process, if their political leaders have aggressed against us. However, it isn’t self-defense to kill people who have done us no harm. What if it were YOUR family – or you – who died and was considered the “collatera…l damage”? Would that be okay? It is the leaders who have initiated force against us, and only they who should be the targets of our attacks. It isn’t sufficient to say you don’t know how to target the leaders without targeting the innocent; if you don’t start thinking about it, you’ll never find a way.
