Though I definitely have Libertarian leanings in most of my views, I am not a Libertarian because of the extreme to which the above is carried. Some of the Libertarians seem to forget that Islamic fundementalist radicals attacked this country.
The non-initiation of force principle does not (or at least it wasn't meant to) preclude the use of force in response to aggression. That is the entire reason that the word "initiate" is in there - otherwise, there would be no distinction between:
“No one may morally use force against another person,†and
“No one may morally initiate the use of force against another person.â€
To call this the "Non-Aggression Principle" is a misnomer to a degree: It should be the "Non-Aggressor Principle" (as in "no first strikes.")
