It's not just about the legal process to initiate a war. It's about the libertarian principle of non-aggression. Libertarians believe it's immoral to attack another sovereign country who has not initiated an attack on us.
Further, our presence across the world only serves to irritate the region, and we believe we should bring our military home, close overseas bases, and get back to the founding principle of being a defensive force, instead of the world's police. A policy which has cost countless lives and dollars and made us no safer, while plunging us into staggering debt.
From our platform:
2.1 Aggression, Property, and Contract
Aggression is the use, trespass against, or invasion of the borders of another person’s owned resource (property) without the owner’s consent; or the threat thereof. We oppose all acts of aggression as illegitimate and unjust, whether committed by private actors or the state.
3.1 National Defense
We support the maintenance of a sufficient military to defend the United States against aggression. The United States should both avoid entangling alliances and abandon its attempts to act as policeman for the world. We oppose any form of compulsory national service.
3.3 International Affairs
American foreign policy should emphasize peace with all nations, entangling alliances with none. We would end the current U.S. government policies of foreign intervention including military and economic aid; tariffs; economic sanctions; and regime change. We recognize the right of all people to resist tyranny and defend themselves and their rights. We condemn the use of force, and especially the use of terrorism, against the innocent, regardless of whether such acts are committed by governments or by political or revolutionary groups.
