I imagine they were anti-Iraq. I too have read Reason before and I even met Matt Walsh of Reason since he was speaking on the failures of the drug war on campus at an event the GMU Students for Liberty put together. You make a good point about how many libertarians are way too dogmatic and also IMO detached from reality.

There’s a lot of libertarianism that feels like it’s still fighting the political battles of the 1930s (if not earlier political battles). Especially among right leaning libertarians. My position on the political spectrum went from center-right libertarian to center-left libertarian pretty much over night some time during the Bush Administration (and probably had a lot to do with law school). Part of the reason, I think, is because I developed a better understanding of the 14th Amendment and a historical understanding that while “state’s rights” and “local control” are nice buzzwords but it ignores that most abuses came from state and local governments rather than from the federal government.
