"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Finally, the natural rights premises of Libertarianism offer a procedural paradigm for ethical and cooperative international action even in the absence of world government.
