Entry: Patrick Buchanan and the Necessary Book Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/patrick_buchanan_and_the_necessary_book#30077 Post contents: While I might agree with your characterization of the evil of Hitler and the danger of a Europe dominated by that ideology, you can't really believe that FDR manipulated and plotted to get the US into WWII to "fight fascism"? FDR saw an opportunity to strategically enlarge US power and influence---yes pick up the pieces of the shattered British Imperial empire for himself. His "New Deal" wasn't working and the US risked social revolution unless it could be distracted with a war. Churchhill was a bloody imperialist, and he was motivated by one thing---to preserve the British Empire, and keep the loot that Britian stole from Germany after the travesty of Versailles. He manipulated events to cause a war of attrition with Germany, with Soviet Russia suffering the most of the attrition. For this he entered into a devil's pact with Stalin, selling his soul to this butcher---all all of Eastern Europe along with it. Buchanan's message is that the US--and the West---is making the same mistakes we made in WWI, and will be creating a Middle East that will explode into something far worse later in this century. I'm sure on that we can all agree. Sent at: 2008 12 01
