Yep. Too bad the truth is so elusive for some people. Buchanan is wrong on the details of Hitler's rise to power, and ignorant in asserting that Soviet hegemony over eastern Europe was "worse" than millions of eastern Europeans getting gassed and shot by the einstatzgruppen, but he is essentially right about Churchill and Roosevelt's short-sightedness in jumping eagerly into a fight with Germany.

Germany didn't give a damn about either of us. And it had been raped both territorially and economically at Versailles. But Hitler was a bastard, so there must be war. Stalin, of course, invaded Poland along with Hitler, his ally, but let's not worry about the communists.

The communists, by the way, DID give a damn about us. They wanted to destroy us. As Churchill said after the war, "I fear we may have stuck the wrong pig."

I'm not "barfing" at Buchanan's column at all.

Obviously the commies didn't particular care one way or the other about us. Once we figured out how to bankrupt them, they accepted defeat quite gracefully.
