IMHO, Buchanon gets a lot of this right. Where he's completely wrong, and it's a broad FUNDAMENTAL error, ala LRon, is his mistaken belief that we'll be okay, the Islamic Supremacists won't bother us, if we just 'leave them alone'. Hello? 9/11?! Pat and LRon are so blinded by their completely foolish "they hate us because of our 'occupations', wars, drones, etc." they can't see straight on this. Khobar Towers, USS Cole, Beirut marine barracks ... they will attack us wherever we are, including at home.
But regardless of what we do, what was true in 1983, when Hezbollah bombed our Marines, remains true today: Iran [Islamic Supremacists] is[are] at war with us, whether we choose to engage or not. If we are not going to win, we are going to lose. Happy talk about democracy and springtime won’t obscure the fact that there is no middle ground.
Isolationism is a losing strategy too.
