WHEREAS the government of the United States should return to its historical libertarian
tradition of avoiding entangling alliances, foreign quarrels, and military adventures; and

WHEREAS the armed forces of the United States have invaded Iraq, a foreign nation that
neither directly attacked nor imminently threatened to attack the United States; and

WHEREAS the injustice and imprudence of this invasion cannot be undone by the continued
presence of the armed forces of the United States in Iraq; and

WHEREAS the stability and security of Iraq lie outside the jurisdiction of the government of the
United States;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee calls on the
government of the United States to withdraw the armed forces of the United States from Iraq,
without undue delay.
