Entry: Patrick Buchanan and the Necessary Book Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/patrick_buchanan_and_the_necessary_book#30131 Post contents: Dr. Zmirak, You often make sound and effective arguments. I do not necessarily agree with your overall opinion here - I believe that Bolshevik Communism was a far greater threat than Germany in any of its incarantions. But I am particularly appalled by your writing: "...in defense, essentially, of what? Of Serbian terrorism? Of genocidal Belgium? Of the bumbling, Jew-baiting Tsar Nicholas? Of the corrupt, anti-clerical Third Republic..." Really? By what proof or established wisdom on any of those counts? As a Serbian-American, I am admittedly touchy when it comes to the Serbian reference because it implies state-sanctioned terrorism or, worse, a national Serbian terroristic leaning (which is quite like the anti-Jewish slurs you rightly denounce). It is well-established historical fact that Princip and the cabal in Sarajevo were Yugoslavists and unconnected to government or throne in Belgrade. In fact, Serbia's government moved swiftly to capture and punish co-conspirators in Serbia proper and forthrightly denounced the barbaric acts committed in Sarajevo (even if the Duke and his government acted foolishly in their pronouncements, actions, and timing). Were the VMRO in Marseille acting on behalf of 'Croatian terrosism' some few years earlier? I'd say yes and no - but not clear when just labeled as such, huh? My advice, for what little it is worth, is watch the careless labeling you otherwise scorn when applied to other groups and people. Sent at: 2008 12 01
