The left only wants us to obey international organizations who support their leftist views.

Buchanan, on the other hand, must be enigmatic even to himself.

Yet Japan has been flat on its back throughout the ?90s.

Can anyone here comment about the health of the Japanese economy? Why aren't we seeing people living in shacks in the park if their economy has been so dire for the last 15 years? Why is Tokyo still one of (if not the) most expensive place to live?

Buchanan also ignores the actual beliefs of the statesmen whose shades he repeatedly invokes. He argues that only foreigners, or consumers of imports, pay tariffs.

These crazy foreigners and their families have always been a problem.  Take, for example, crazy Scot Irishmen like Buchanan.  They couldn't make it in Scotland, so they move into northern Ireland and proceed to act like the place was always Scot-Irish.   True to form, many can't even make a go of it in Ireland so they move to the US and turn right around and act like they were here even before say, the Spanish!

Don't get me wrong-- I know that it actually benefits the US to get new blood like Buchanan and his family.  Their self serving self righteousness won't be such a problem for ever.  After all, the future generations of Buchanans will probably wash out of the US (what with needing so much protection and all) and move to say, Romania where they can complain about the Hungarians.
