Ran into Scott Horton's interview with Clyde Cleveland in 2004 about libertarian environmentalism here...

Clyde lays out the principles of indigenous power versus surrogate power which he focuses on in 2008 with www.commonsenserevisted.org

Anyway, Scott Horton looks like a hell of a resource...
Check out his blog, especially this posting of Dr. Paul's congressional record statement from July 2008:

a portion of the statement is here:

I do find it ironic that this resolution “calls on the Government of the People’s Republic of China to begin earnest negotiations, without preconditions, directly with His Holiness the Dalai Lama or his representatives.” For years US policy has been that no meeting or negotiation could take place with Iran until certain preconditions are met by Iran. Among these is a demand that Iran cease uranium enrichment, which Iran has the right to do under the terms of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. It is little wonder why some claim that resolutions like this are hypocritical.
