The talks that we are promoting with Europe???
Europe talks to Iran, we act as the tough cop. Or are you as ignorant as Patty about our diplomatic efforts?

Split by country as to whether an attack is needed. They have imposed sanctions. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,372164,00.html

I don’t know if Pat is an antisemite, but he’s the last “America First” member. Most America Firsters closed up shop after Pearl Harbor.
I tend to be an isolationist myself and have some sympathy for some of Pat’s views. (I don’t want to be the World’s policeman.)
There are two complicating factors. One is U.S. (and world) dependence on Mideastern oil, the other is the status of Israel.
Few Americans are ready to abandon Israel, regardless of the cost. This is admirable and noble, but must be recognized as costly. Pat is not one of those Americans willing to bear these costs.

No, but Pat is willing to see us subsidize Hamas, and allow Muslims to tell us what cartoons we can publish.
He also might not be an antisemite, but he keeps going back to Holocaust Revisionism recently.

Pat isn't at all original. In the film, “The Best Years of Our Lives”, some Buchanan like character engages the sailor who lost his hands in conversation in a drug store, with the “Ya know, we were fighting the wrong people” line. Before he gets very far, another veteran decks him.
So even by 1946, the seeds doubt about the cause existed and an object lesson in suppressing them was available.
Buchanan takes advantage of widespread historical ignorance to make a few childish points about World War II. Yes, Pat, it was an ugly affair and more morally ambiguous than we might like, but the destruction of Nazism and Japanese militarism were not negligible accomplishments. That we could not immediately defeat Communism was sad, but does not negate the other accomplishments.

Iran.
Next question. Why is Pat shilling for Hitler, and Iran?
