"See, even this ultra-conservative is against the Iraq war." That says that Ted is not endorsing Buchanan's philosophy, but that their different philosophies happen to overlap. In fact, it specifically says that Ted has a different philosophy. BTW, you haven't posted a link of Ted disagreeing with Buchanan on Kosovo or Haiti. Tom

You can pick up on several valid arguments that Buchanan brings up, but the big picture Buchanan has in mind runs absolutely contrary to everything liberals believe in. Like I said, if his arguments apply to Iraq and Israel, they certainly apply to Kosovo, Haiti, Korea, and Taiwan. Let's not also forget about our continued participation in the U.N., which Buchanan vehemently opposes. Sorry, big guy, but you're doing a lot of interpretation for Mr. Buchanan and me. I posted that article because Buchanan was pointing out the duplicity of Bush's foreign policy. While I don't think we should police the world, I am not suggesting we go back to 1930s isolationism. And I don't know Buchanan well enough to know that that's what he wants. Certainly, that argument is not made to any great degree in his article I posted. ted

<<< ... John Kerry's foreign policy adviser Will Marshall of the Progressive Policy Institute, author of "Democratic Realism: the Third Way", points to the exemplary nature of the 1999 "<U.S.-led> intervention in Kosovo". It was "a policy consciously based on a mix of moral values and security interests with the parallel goals of halting a humanitarian tragedy and ensuring NATO's credibility as an effective force for regional stability". The "humanitarian" rationale sounds better than the "weapons of mass destruction" or the "links to Al Qaeda" which never existed. But then, the "genocide" from which the NATO war allegedly saved the Albanians of Kosovo never existed either. But while the WMD deception has been exposed, the founding lie behind the Kosovo war is still widely believed. It effectively distracts from the very existence of the what Marshall calls the "parallel goal" of strengthening NATO ... >>> counterpunch.org Hegemony is the name of the game. Tom
