Are those questions posed by Buchanan rhetorical? The motive he ascribes to Britain is disingenuous at best. Britain did not declare war to just defend Polish freedom, but to fight against Hitler's total domination of Western Europe. Hitler never planned to stop at the water's edge, which Buchanan should know. And the "West" (the US? US and Britain?) did not go to war to stop Hitler from dominating Eastern and Central Europe per se, but because they were threatened, attacked, and declared war upon. The second question is just a silly straw man. What does "win" mean? In war, when you defeat your enemy and it surrenders, you win. Sometimes it's a Pyrrhic victory and the consequences aren't what you expected, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have fought.
