An interesting Pat Buchanen article
Now, I believe Mr. Buchanen is as close to evil as one can get. However, I found this article intriguing.
No End to War
The Frum-Perle prescription would ensnare America in endless conflict.

Now, there is a clear line of Israel and maybe Jewish phobia here in Buchanen's artfully crafted prose, the prose of the elegant bigot.
However, the fact he is likely an anti-Semite does not entirely invalidate his analysis here, that a certain set of the people self-identified as "neo-Con" confound Israeli- more properly Sharonista- interests with US interests is not, I think, off-base. His analysis of the historical foreign policy of the states strikes me as perhaps 50percent correct, but his attacking the mythologies of the neco-cons in re 'democracy' and US foreign policy strike me as useful.
Interesting, problematic.
