Why the War is Unpopular

I didn't realize that so many Libertarians were against the war. I guess writers just kind of flock. Reason magazine rounds up some pundits:

As the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq approaches, Reason asked a wide range of libertarian, conservative, and freedom-minded journalists and academics to assess the war, the occupation, and how their views have or have not changed.

Anti Pro Equivocal

W. James Antle III Ronald Bailey Matt Welch
Tim Cavanaugh Christopher Hitchens
Brian Doherty Charles Murray
David Friedman Glenn Reynolds
Nick Gillespie Louis Rossetto
Jim Henley Michael Young
Wendy McElroy
John Mueller
William A. Niskanen
Tom G. Palmer
Charles V. Peña
Jonathan Rauch
Jacob Sullum
Jon Basil Utley
Jesse Walker
Robert Anton Wilson

If I had to say who I'd rather stand with, it would be the group with Hitchens, Reynolds and Murray. The rest are headed for the dustheap of history. This war made me proud to be an American again. What can I say? If we're such pansies that we can't stick with a task for more than three years, we're just what the terrorists think we are -- a paper tiger. We will have validated their strategy. We will deserve to be attacked again.
