Ayn Rand's ideals are codified in her philosophy, Objectivism. This term is preferable to "Ayn Randian ideals." There are several things available on this subject via The Ayn Rand Institute: Some words from Ayn RandDon't Defy the United Nations--End It by Robert TracinskiNations United Against Rights by Robert TracinskiThinking It Alone by Alex Epstein Several great LTE's and Op-Ed's here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because to impose anything on anyone is the opposite of what rights stand for. Why do rights suffer when they are annihilated? Because they are annihilated. Why is it bad for rights to be annihilated? I refer you to Atlas Shrugged, or Soviet Russia, or Nazi Germany, or your childhood bully (if you knew one).
