Did it ever occur to you that the world Churchill lived in is substantially different form today's world, and so Churchill might have different views on foreign policy today?
Yes, I have considered it.
And I believe that if Churchill were here in July 2007, he would find that he and President Bush saw some very important issues in the very same way. In particular, foreign policy and dealing with a dangerous foe.
I DO think that Churchill would be more inclined to use more force than Bush ever would, but I think he would do it out of complete ignorance of the pervasive and shaping influence of the media.
Granted, they did have newspapers in those days. Maybe some newsreels. And radio. But most importantly, the media that DID exist in those days was not being used in the same way that even the same media (Such as newspapers) are being used today.
Churchill would be caught off guard much the same way Patton would be caught off guard in their interactions with the media of today. (Granted, Patton was caught off guard by the media in back THEN in the fall of 1943...)
But I digress.
As for how he would view those two...I think he would only like the prickliness of Buchanan, and would dislike Ron Paul as a dolt. (Whether Ron Paul is or isn't a dolt, I am not saying for the point I make here. This is how I think Churchill would view him.)
Again, this is my opinion, and you have yours. Neither one of us can ask him. I go on the basis of the books that I have read about Churchill, the best of which I believe is The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Alone 1932-1940 by William Manchester, who also wrote Goodbye, Darkness: A Memoir of the Pacific War to describe his time as a US Marine in the Pacific.
As I recall of Manchester, he was a bit of a Lib, but could write well and back it up with solid research. A good read.
But anyway, that is how I see Churchill.
