LOL! Pat says flat-out that none of the unpleasantness would have happened at all, but for those awful Poles' unwillingness to negotiate about Danzig.
Stop trying to put your own words in Pat's mouth.
I'm using Pat's own words -- I've justified my comments with direct quotes! You just won't admit that's what Pat's really saying (and has been saying for years).
Which says about as much about you, as it does about Pat.
Have a nice life, Andy. I have no more time for your twaddle.
Those were not "Pat's own words" bu yours, r9etb's own words, put into the mouth of Pat Buchanan to get around the fact that you yourself cannot comprehend words as they are actually written or chain together a set of sentances in logical fashion to reach a logical conclusion.
Pat's conclusion in this article is that the consequence of refusal to negotiate with a mortal enemy can be your own destruction. Pat neither suggests, and it would be a logical fallacy to infer the conclusion that negotiation promises that you will survive. He only points out that it is an option, despite Bush's assertions, and further it is an option that has been taken many times, with some success, in the past.
Furthermore, look at this from Israel's side. This administration ends in 6 months. Will the next administration honor Bush's implied guarantees of Israel's future, regardless of how intransigent Israel might be? It is merely the obvious game theoretic question that Israel better be asking itself a question that arises out of Pat's history lesson.
Flat out you say. Really? Where?
