Look, I’m not supporting it and neither is PJB. But the fact is we are not going to do anything about it. We didn’t aid Poland in 1981 or Czechosl in 1968 or Hungary in 1956, et. al. It’s sad, but it’s a fact. Moreover, we won’t take the Russians on for their arms sales.

Perhaps you are right. Where do you see us doing something? All PJB is saying is that we were playing a losing hand and as such, we’re impotent. He’s been shown to be correct. How is he wrong?

He's been wrong on Iraq. He didn't think we could ever win there. He seemed to admire Saddam, and even thought we should let old Saddam keep Kuwait when he took that country. He doesn't condemn Putin, so I think of him as more of a cheer leader or a rationalizer for the former KGB man, Putin. Buchanan is a Herbert Matthews type when it comes to Putin. And if you were right about Pat always being so right, America would have elected the chatter box Buchanan to be our president. Instead, he got about 1% of the vote. He's basically been bitter and eager to harm Bush ever since. So I won't join you in Buchanan worship.
