Whoa, re-read Rand please. Your knowledge is lacking.

ZOMG i am getting called out (and i intended to post from a sympathetic position in the first place!), i am going to have to go do some digging. I remember specifically reading that Rand believes that defending corporate interests can be just cause for war. kind of like how she says america shouldn't have allowed these countries to nationalize their oil production. i guess objectivists wouldn't consider that a truly preemptive strike, since its a violent retaliation after harm (but not really violent harm) has been imposed on a country.

You call that getting called out?

A citation for your belief up there would be in order. Rand doesn't strike me as an interventionist as you're portraying her here.

Also, I wouldn't call foreign policy a part of the greater Objectivist philosophy. Generally, foreign policy/philosophy requires a different mindset than personal or domestic policy/philosophy.
