Pat Buchanan is an American politician, author, syndicated columnist and broadcaster. Buchanan was a senior adviser to American presidents, Nixon, Ford and Reagan, and was an original host on CNN's Crossfire. He sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996. He ran on the Reform Party ticket in the 2000 presidential election. He co-founded The American Conservative magazine and launched a foundation named The American Cause. He has been published in Human Events, National Review, The Nation and Rolling Stone. His new book is called Churchill, Hitler, and The Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World.
Maybe Ron Paul could help him out with that one. He began questioning the wisdom of those wars back in the 60s, when he was in the Air Force. Meanwhile, Buchanan was an aide in the Nixon White House and, as far as I know, supportive of the Vietnam War.
In any case, it would be nice to see someone like Buchanan revisit the policy of Communist containment. If he changed his mind, he could convince many others to change their minds, too. So I also second the request.

I second the request for Pat to write a book on the Domino Theory as a bogus justification for the Cold War's Korea and Vietnam.

"It is untrue that I or anyone else in Germany wanted war in 1939. It was wanted and provoked solely by international statesmen either of jewish origin or working for jewish interests."
-- ADOLF HITLER
