Indeed. The OP makes it sound like protectionism is the opposite of capitalism, when any libertarian will tell you that staying out of other people's business includes avoiding the bombing and occupation of other countries.
I was reading a book the other day that talked about how economists are the most selfish people in the world because their constant indoctrination with the importance of allowing the market to do all the work suppresses their natural desire to help others. I immediately thought of Freddie over on CB. That guy is a piece of work.
