ANOTHER REASON CONSERVATIVE ECONOMISTS ARE IMMORAL

(h/t Matt Yglesias)

I shouldn't be surprised but this struck me as so out of touch that I have to quote this callous remark by Bryan Caplan at EconLog:
3. Treatment of foreigners. If the NYPD bombed Harlem to kill one rampaging murderer, we'd condemn the NYPD agents as murderers.  But if the USAF bombs a town in Afghanistan to kill one rampaging murderer, we forgive the bombers - or cheer them on. 
Maybe Caplan knows mostly neo-con warwhores who don't mind indiscriminate murder of civilians.

He's a libertarian, isn't he?
That's not conservative.
I found the Mexican job replacement remark more out of touch and/or callous re the American worker whose wages are driven down.

I think glibertarians are mostly conservative.
