Entry: The American Conservative, John Lukacs, and The Unnecessary Review Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_american_conservative_john_lukacs_and_the_unnecessary_review#27692 Post contents: "He says the “deeper problem” of the book is “Buchanan’s sincerity” because Buchanan is not an admirer of the British Empire. Well yes, Pat does not have any real fealty to the empire, but this cannot mean he can believe that the way it fell after WWII was good for the West. Buchanan has lamented for years that the British have lost pride in their empire." Why should ANYONE have any positive feelings for an imperial foreign policy? May I remind everyone here that we are still paying today, not only for the foreign policy mistakes of our own country, but of Great Britain as well? Empires have a tendency to get hit back hard at the end, better to not do it in the first place if you wish to avoid the boomerang. Sent at: 2008 11 20
