Now I get it, you’re a lightweight ranter. The ugliness of of your jingoistic hate rather gives you away. My fault for addressing you in the first place. Won’t happen again.

AIPAC is pretty powerful, and indeed the US should be very careful of being seen as a bribed tool of the Zionists. Especially about being the dumb, easily manipulated Golem going into Iran and fighting and dying not for our vital interests, but to maintain our own albatross necklace’s nuclear WMD monopoly.

AIPAC has adversely affected our vital interests in other countries. Not just the ME.

As for “I’m a Dinner Jacket”, hysterical little Zionists posting about his fire and brimstone tend to be ignorant of Iranian government – In Iran, the President has no war power. A figurehead. That power resides in the Supreme Revolutionary Islamic Council and the Supreme Clerical leader, an Azeri named Khameini. (Who has said WMD should be banned and any attacker using them, terrorist or nation, is outside Islamic Law)

GM Roper:
Just out of curiosity, who really thinks Pat Buchannan even matters any more? The man is and has been so out of touch with reality that it is pathetic. Who Cares?

Intelligensia, think tanks, and companies across the Globe. Buchanan in favor again as much of waht he has written about in the last 20 years has been happening as he said it would. He is also a valuable “go to guy” on politics, a “old hand” in DC. And getting new respect from the Left. Where the new saying is “Pat is so far right he comes around and reaches us from the Left and we sometimes agree with him”.

Besides being in the NY TImes top 10 bestsellers with each of his recent books, they are also international best-sellers in Europe, Russia, Asia. Buchanan is on major networks here and in European “chats”, appears on talk radio. Yes the neocons and Zionists still hate him, but frankly, that is now a selling point with most of the rest of humanity.

Dark Helmet – hitler wanted to reclaim the Prussian empire, humilate France and then destroy Russia. He had hopes of a stable partner with England. Gazzer is correct in that war was declard on him after he invaded or ‘retook’ Poland.

Mostly right. Hitler never wanted to fight the West outside of humiliating France for Versailles “payback”. He wanted self-determination of peoples as Wilsons 14 points promised – which had huge support in most of Europe – though he wanted chunks of non-Germanic land. It all changed when England declared war on him. And no, he did not want to destroy Russia. He wished to destroy instead what he called “Jewish Bolshevikism”, get fair access to Caspian Oil, protect the rights of 3 million Germans inside the USSR, stabilize the Balkans from Communist meddling.

Buchanan writes the key blunder causing WWII was England, dragging a reluctant France along, in a matter of senseless honor vs Realpolitik, joined in a treaty with Poland to go to war if Hitler tried to bring the lost German city of Danzig back into the Reich. It had been “given away” by force after WWI by starving the German people into signing away, and the Poles had inflicted substantial abuses on the ethnic Germans over the years.

In was NOT begun by “Munich” and “appeasement”.

The Iranian regime is very unpopular among the majority of it’s population. The one thing that would unify the Iranians behind their government would be military strikes by Israel and/or US. Since military action by the US or Israel is likely to affect regime change in Iran, the overall effect would be to extend the life of the current regime. It is a brutal kind of logic, but to imagine the Iranian regime to be above such thoughts is to be naive in the extreme. It’s not too hard to imagine that the Iranians prefer some kind of conflict between Israel and/or the US. Another article at pajamas media actually addresses this very argument.

It makes a pretty good argument for why they Iranian regime would want a state of conflict between themselves and a superpower.

That’s true enough. The mad mullahs control the oil and since they came into power in 1979 they’ve executed tens of thousands of people for crimes like adultery and homosexuality, so I guess you would have to say they were pretty ruthless.
