Pat Buchanan: 300 nukes in Israel yet Iran a threat?

Islamic wars have brought questionable benefit to the US over the last 20 years, former US presidential advisor Pat Buchanan, author of Suicide of a Superpower, shared with RT. ­A new war in the Middle East will be a disaster for the US and for the world economy, he says. "I opposed the Desert Storm operation in 1991 cleaning Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait because, I said, 'This would only be the first Arab-American war.'" Looking at the number of conflicts in the Islam world that America is taking part in now, one cannot but admit that Buchanan was right 20 years ago. "You cannot replicate the Middle West in the Middle East," Pat Buchanan concluded. From the time of the Cold War the US has military bases all over the world. Today, running a budget deficit of 10 per cent of its GDP, America simply cannot afford to continue "to carry this enormous burden, defending 40 or 50 countries around the world," Buchanan says, "We have to bring troops home." Getting rid of these bases essentially means dismantling the American Empire to help the US survive beyond 2025. America's crusade under the banner of ending tyranny in the world is "utterly utopian".

Most of u people are just plain stupid or uneducated to believe that Religion alone cause most wars. if u ever read history (which most of u American don't) Human instincts is the cause, the need to take territory, money, resources and the power to take and control of others are the main causes of wars. most Religions teaches peace but there will be ppl who will twisted it for their own gains just to kill no different from ppl using gang colors and racial superiority as an excuse to kill others.

I agree, but your profile picture seems to show support for the Crusades and the murder of innocent Muslims and Jews, as well as your name.

Most people nowadays who support Israhell have profile pictures or names such as yours.

Not trying to insult you, I am just saying, it may seem a bit odd to some.

[SroEpicness]

He's right in one way. Religion has caused a bit of conflict.

I'm not talking about Muslims. I'm talking about today! The actual wars have nothing to do religion (rather oil, etc), but a LOT of people nowadays are filled with hatred against Islam.

That simple SUPPORT for the hatred of Muslims is what easily FUELS these wars. It is why they are so accepted. Idiotic Americans (many of which call themselves "patriots") want this war because of Islam.

I'm a true patriot. Israel = terrorist nation.

Hence today, I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator, by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord... Adolf Hitler
