Harry Browne, RIP

Harry Browne died last night.

Harry was one of the leading antiwar voices within the libertarian movement. The author of 12 books, he was the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate in 1996 and 2000.

Harry was one of the first libertarians to speak out after 9/11, taking a strong anti-intervention position at a time when virtually all that could be heard were calls for bombing everyone back into the stone age. He showed a direction to libertarians on the proper post-9/11 response with his strident op-eds (see more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and still more.)

Harry had been suffering a painful illness for the past year.

We at Antiwar.com will miss his presence and his insightful thoughts.
