So... Pat Buchanan 2012? Somehow I think it would end up like the last president named Buchanan. But instead of a civil war, you would have a world war.

The only reason Europe is at peace is because those us troops are there. Our power creates stability. We are holding the world together militarily and economically. It is our political, economic, and cultural model that is the basis of the world. It is our military that maintains the world.

If we pull back, you will see exactly what happened in east Europe when the soviets pulled back and collapsed, happen in Europe, the middle east, Africa, Asia, Latin America... in short... The entire world!

On the subject of Iraq specifically. As weakened as al Qaeda in Iraq are. the fact remains they exists, and persists. And they are capable of starting a war between the Shia and the Sunni. That will split the country in two, half with go to Iran, and half will go to Osama. The Kurds, and the Christians, Jews, and other minorities will be murdered in yet another genocide.

And as for Afghanistan. We are not doing enough! Our allies in Pakistan are on the brink, the forces of Osama are marching through Islamabad and we sit here and watch!

Pakistan is a nuclear country, and while that should be all the justification anyone should need for the interests of our country, (the very notion of Osama possessing a nuclear nation should be a call to arms for any rational mind) I personally think this line of reasoning inhuman. There are people in Pakistan! Human beings who ought to have the same rights that we enjoy, and they are on the brink! They are about to lose everything to this war. How can anyone argue for inaction? When you see a freind, and he is about to be murdered, do you sit back and say, "well its not in my interest?" That is exactly what the doves in this debate are doing.

The forces of radical Islam have declared war on us, and we would be signing our own death warrant to ignore a war that we had no part in starting, and that we have done proportionately little to stop. Its a global front and we have occupied just two countries.

How many nations, how many peoples, how many cultures, did we fight, occupy, or liberate in the war against fascism?

Should we be so hesitant to do even a fraction of what our grandfathers did in the face of islamo-facism? I think not!
