Buchanan should not compare the Christian culture war to the Islamic one. Muslim women really are oppressed. Christians don't treat women that way.

The very last thing any Conservative, Buchanan included, should advocate is a Communist of Nazi style monolithic world culture. The point he is making is that we should not be backing the wackos whom he quotes, advocating the Feminist agenda for the near east; that they represent the very thing which Christian, Jewish and non-affiliated American Conservatives have been fighting in our own culture war--i.e., that American Feminism is a common enemy.

Rational people do not insist upon 100% agreement, before they are able to recognize common grounds with other people. The alliance that Pat suggests--and it is really rhetorical tongue in cheek for his real point which is that the Perle approach is in my parlance, not Pat's kindlier phrases, pure crack-pot--is on an ad hoc basis; that is for the purpose of defeating the Feminist assault on reason and family values, and not for any internationalist agenda, whatsoever.

Indeed, it is the essence of the traditional American foreign policy, that we only form alliances on an ad hoc basis; that we retain--permanently--a freedom from entangling alliances.

Nazism and Communism both treat women like slaves. This is one of the many reasons why those anti-Christian systems should have been not only condemned, but destroyed. The same can be said for radical islam.
