It was always predictable what Pat Buchanan's position would be regarding Iran. The sad thing is that even the conservative media doesn't point out the anti-Semitic basis for this belief, and they even give him a pass on his ideas about Nazi Germany not being a threat, and promote his book. Pat Buchanan is a modern-day Edomite who only wants our foreign policy to be whatever causes Jews the most harm (even if that same policy is also bad for the United States), and then wants to sit back and watch Jews be destroyed as a result. The prophecy of Obadiah in the Tanach is about folks like him.
I disagree, Dan ben Noah. You have blissfully ignored my latest 2 posts, quotations by the ones that founded America and Conservatism. You cannot attack a nation if it poses no direct threat to you. Britain made a huge mistake by trying to get involved in the German-Soviet conflict, as Buchanan has pointed out, they no longer have an empire due to this decision. Poland was lost to either the USSR or the Germans, no getting out of it. Just as modern day Tibet is lost today, there is no way we can free it. Because China is very powerful and owns it. We (Westerners) couldn't fight against the Soviets and win.
And let me remind you of something that is forgotten in text books. World War 2 began over the illegal occupation of Poland. But at the war's end, the USSR gained complete control of Poland anyways. Don't you see anything wrong with that?
A Non-Interventionalist Foreign policy was originally crafted by the original Founding Fathers in order to keep America out of foreign affairs and useless wars that Europe has become known for. No treatys, alliances, etc.. that will get our own killed for some other nation. That is the policy that Taft and Buchanan had followed. Thats why he opposed the Iraqi war, Vietnam, etc..
And as I had already explained previously, the third-world nation of Iran poses no threat to Israel. Israel can destroy any nation of the Middle East due to its technological advances and funding. And in the words of Eisenhower, I wouldn't listen to anyone that seriously talked about such a thing. And now you have politicians like Obama and Mccain pledging to attack iran if necessary and even threatening nucleur war against a nation that hasn't even attacked us or threatened us directly. It is insanity, and hopefully the ones responsible for the war will be able to see what they have turned into. An American Empire would be something like Rome, Greece, Persian emprie, British Empire, etc... and will die eventually. Its important that America doesn't become an empire, since it will be it will be its inevitable death.
