As for America’s past, this from Buchanan: "Western Man was one of the many villains, but Western Man was also the only hero. For the West did not invent slavery, but it alone abolished slavery.”

I think this point needs to be made much more often. Our culture may not be perfect, but it sure beats any other one.

I'm afraid that both Pat and you are wrong on this account. Ancient China abolished slavery near the end the Warring States period (771 - 221 BC).
