Pat Buchanan is RIGHT...Again!

Wow, this is going to go down as one of my all-time favorites from Mr. Buchanan, especially if our involvement in the Russia\Georgia conflict continues to escalate.

Here is an excerpt from this article, which I highly recommend you read in its entirety.  I've bolded the first sentence because it's something I think we all need to chew on it a little bit...

 

Americans have many fine qualities. A capacity to see ourselves as others see us is not high among them.

Imagine a world that never knew Ronald Reagan, where Europe had opted out of the Cold War after Moscow installed those SS-20 missiles east of the Elbe. And Europe had abandoned NATO, told us to go home and become subservient to Moscow.

How would we have reacted if Moscow had brought Western Europe into the Warsaw Pact, established bases in Mexico and Panama, put missile defense radars and rockets in Cuba, and joined with China to build pipelines to transfer Mexican and Venezuelan oil to Pacific ports for shipment to Asia? And cut us out? If there were Russian and Chinese advisers training Latin American armies, the way we are in the former Soviet republics, how would we react? Would we look with bemusement on such Russian behavior?
