every now and again Pat Buchanan has a point

Instead of maintaining the moral and political high ground it had \ufffd when even Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan were condemning Hezbollah and privately hoping Israel would inflict a humiliating defeat on Nasrallah \ufffd Israel launched an air war on an innocent people. Now, 87 percent of Lebanese back Hezbollah, and the entire Arab and Islamic world, Shia and Sunni alike, is rallying behind Nasrallah.

For two weeks, Bush seemed unable to find a word of criticism for what our friends in Israel were doing to our friends in Lebanon. He publicly sent more bombs to Israel. He and Condi emphasized that America did not want a cease-fire \ufffd yet. And because America provides Israel with the bombs it uses on Lebanon, we refused to restrain the Israelis, and we opposed every effort for a cease-fire before Sunday, America shares full moral and political responsibility for the massacre at Qana. Not sure what to make of this.... 'Cept that the far religious right might not be supporting Bush as strongly as he hopes this November.

'Cept that the far religious right might not be supporting Bush as strongly as he hopes this November. It is actually pretty typical of Buchanan's politics, which are a type of America First belief bordering on isolationism. This puts him strongly in the paleocon category and strongly opposed to the neocon's goals of exporting American corporate democracy. How much this is indicative of religous right anger at the current administration remains to be seen. Jay

His warnings about pre-emptive war and entangling foreign alliances are well worth listening to and considering. It's when he goes off talking about "culture wars" or railing about the evils of the secularization of the West, etc., etc., that he loses me. I don't pay much attention to him, myself. Cheers, Scott.

I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06
