Gunning for Kagan
A sympathetic case for the America First Committee and their opposition to America’s entry into World War II comes from a surprising source. Pat Buchanan’s recent birthday leads me to speculate: how much better would we be today if he had been elected President in 1992 rather than George H.W. Bush?
He would have avoided “Operation Desert Storm” against Iraq, with all its disastrous consequences for us ever since. He was wrong about tariffs, but, as Murray Rothbard always said, war is the most important issue, and Pat Buchanan was a strong non-interventionist. That’s why he supported Buchanan.
