I am not a fan of the Patriot Act, which I find to be in gross violation of the Constitution. I'm not a fan of being world police all the time either. I do think our Navy should be used to protect ships/vessels from the pirating crap going on, yes. And I do think that should be extended to any vessel, not just ours.
However, I don't think we need to go to war with every country at the drop of a hat and stay in a war-like status in various places around the world at the same time. Since WWII all we've basically done is continue in war after war after war and that trend doesn't seem to be bucking any time soon.
I don't agree with all libertarian visions, however I do think we need to fix the problems at home before trying to fix everyone else's problems.
