"A knee-jerk return to being the policeman of the world,…to manipulating the internal policies of other countries to prop up or install 'pro-American' leaders without popular support, is not an appropriate policy for a country professing a commitment to freedom."

--Robert Poole Jr., "Post-Afghanistan Foreign Policy"

"The SALT treaties bring us closer to the brink of war by continuing the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction."

--U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, "SALT-Free Defense"

"I was surprised to learn how few businesspeople knew about a private telecommunications network…operated by two private companies, MCI and Southern Pacific Communications."

--Murray N. Rothbard, "Collective Guilt in Iran"
