    They're rare, but there are right libertarians who are basically anti-imperialists. The only folks outside of the left in the US who are. Their reasons aren't the same - it's usually something about how we should only use tax dollars for defensive purposes when the actual 50 US states are attacked - but eh, I'll take it. Different path but gets to more or less the same destination.
