Our dearly loved Roundtable
Should libertarians not be concerned about both acts of commission and acts of omission when examining foreign policy questions? Libertarians seem to be primarily concerned with acts of commission, but rarely consider the implications that can result from omission (acts of denial). Does it not seem possible that failing to act may lead to a more libertarian outcome? Is it possible that inaction can lead to a less-libertarian preferred outcome?
