Pat is logical and approaches history with fair-mindedness and depth which many ideologues on the Left and the Right will try disprove with pure ideological convications rather than facts. Those who automatically see Hitler as a devil and Stalin and his allies as saints (despite their profoundly larger and more horrific crimes against humanity, from the tens of millions murdered in Russia, to the bombing of Dresden and Tokyo, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagazaki).

It is YOUR type of thinking the war mongers point to as part of the reason we have to Butt In to everyones business.

What you said is so Stupid, you have got to be a Neo Con yourself!

Pat Buchanan is correct on the history.

Another thing I learned from Buchanan's book is that Churchill presided over the decimation of the Royal Navy in the Far East while he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. He claimed that there was no chance of a war with Japan. Whoops!

Far-sighted statesman, my ass. He was just a discord-sowing rabid Germanophobe who sold out his nation for the benefit of the US.

[Torgo1969]

US allied with Russia under Putin? That would be a dream come true, a true Northern Allliance!

History has and will probably continue to show that Churchill was a bit of a "Provocateur". Still much history should be clarified on this point, it would seem the Churchill was a embarrassment to the British people and fantasied himself as a "war strategist", at great cost to Britain if not the rest of the free world.

Has Pat Buchanan ever commented on why Churchill was so adamant on starting or continuing a war with Germany, or any country he could?
