I believe Gustave de Molinari says it best:

    That the production of security should, in the interests of the consumers of this intangible commodity, remain subject to the law of free competition.

Whence it follows:

    That no government should have the right to prevent another government from going into competition with it, or to require consumers of security to come exclusively to it for this commodity.

It's from The Production of Security.

Isn't "another government going into competition with it" basically "war?"

Market competition, not violent competition.
