Entry: Patrick Buchanan and the Necessary Book Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/patrick_buchanan_and_the_necessary_book#30344 Post contents: After following the discussion about Pat's book here and at other sites like Pajamas Media, I wish Pat had written his book about WW1 and its effects on the West. WW2 is just too emotional because any suggestion that we should have stayed out makes many think the holocaust was tolerable. To quote William Lind, "In 1914, the West put a gun to its collective head and blew its brains out." WW1 is the wellspring of WW2, the Cold War and the current M-E crises. WW1 is the poster child for the danger of entangling alliances. It also is the blueprint for the current obsession of spreading democracy. Pat would have been better served to write about this instead of WW2. It would still have provided an opportunity to educate Americans about the past and the parallels of 2008. Plus it would not have stoked the "anti-semitism" rants that are going to distract most people from even giving his book a fair shot. Sent at: 2008 12 01
