I have enjoyed listening to and reading Pat Buchanan in the past. But I do not agree with him (or Joseph Sobran) on this war.

I think his problem stems from too narrow a conception on religion. It is certainly O.K. for Christians to be pro-Christian. But that does not have to mean exclusion of Jews. Dennis Prager has written excellent articles on America's Judao-Christian heritage. I see no reason why Christians and observant Jews should not be the best of friends and allies. Secular Jews are like secularists in general and tend toward socialism. Whey they go too far, communism is an example, that must be resisted. Islam is a problem because Mohamed was a militant Jihadists. For that reason, moderate Muslims who learn more of their heritage may choose a dangerous and immoderate course. Islam is inherently dangerous, unlike Christianity nor Judaism. I think Israel is waging war on terror and nothing more. They are our ally, and we don't have that many in this world.

I think you are right about Buchanan having too narrow a conception on religion. But I am also beginning to think that he really is anti-Semitic. I used to like Buchanan. I even voted for him in the primaries in 1992. But he's really changed. It's a shame.
