OK, I'll defend Pat Buchanon, here's why!

He's a conservative, but he's the old kind of conservative. And, he's honest which makes him about 100,000 times better than Bush. I can dislike Republican views, but if there is a little integrity to it I can at least hold respect of them.

Iran: The Case for Containment

by Pat Buchanan


With the 150,000 U.S. troops in Iraq now the daily target of guerrilla attack—and no exit strategy in sight—the War Party has begun to caw for a policy of “regime change” in Tehran.

But the president has seemed hesitant and understandably so. For clearly the Pentagon did not prepare him for the criminality, chaos, and resistance we would encounter after the fall of Baghdad or for the possibility that Saddam’s weapons might not be found.

Bush’s problem, however, is there is hard evidence Tehran is conducting a crash program to build nuclear weapons. While U.S. eyes had previously been focused on the Russian-built nuclear plant at Bushehr, a second plant has been discovered. Now, a third has been placed off limits by Tehran to international inspectors.
