Pat Buchanan: Hitler Apologist (Mætenloch)

Yesterday was the 70th anniversary of the German/Soviet invasion of Poland which began WWII. So of course Pat Buchanan pens an column explaining that this wasn't really Hitler's fault since he didn't really want war.

The German-Polish war had come out of a quarrel over a town the size of Ocean City, Md., in summer. Danzig, 95 percent German, had been severed from Germany at Versailles in violation of Woodrow Wilson's principle of self-determination. Even British leaders thought Danzig should be returned.

Why did Warsaw not negotiate with Berlin, which was hinting at an offer of compensatory territory in Slovakia? Because the Poles had a war guarantee from Britain that, should Germany attack, Britain and her empire would come to Poland's rescue.

But why would Britain hand an unsolicited war guarantee to a junta of Polish colonels, giving them the power to drag Britain into a second war with the most powerful nation in Europe?

Was Danzig worth a war? Unlike the 7 million Hong Kongese whom the British surrendered to Beijing, who didn't want to go, the Danzigers were clamoring to return to Germany.

Comes the response: The war guarantee was not about Danzig, or even about Poland. It was about the moral and strategic imperative "to stop Hitler" after he showed, by tearing up the Munich pact and Czechoslovakia with it, that he was out to conquer the world. And this Nazi beast could not be allowed to do that.

If true, a fair point. Americans, after all, were prepared to use atom bombs to keep the Red Army from the Channel. But where is the evidence that Adolf Hitler, whose victims as of March 1939 were a fraction of Gen. Pinochet's, or Fidel Castro's, was out to conquer the world?

Note how Buchanan paints Hitler as some kind of justified, inexorable force that was somehow forced into invading Poland. Look: if Hitler didn't want war, he could simply have refrained from signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, plotting with the Soviet Union to divide Poland, amassing German forces on the Polish border, creating fake border incidents, and actually, you know, invading Poland.

But he did all of these things which makes it pretty clear that even if he didn't exactly desire a war with the west, he was certainly prepared to risk it. He miscalculated, war ensued and yet this is all the allies fault. Somehow only the west has free will; everyone else is an automaton driven by geo-political forces.

When Buckley called Buchanan an anti-Semite back in the 90's, I was initially skeptical, but after reading and seeing what he's written over the years, I've come to basically the same conclusion. Pat Buchanan is what I call a functional anti-Semite: all of his statements and beliefs are indistinguishable from what you'd expect of an avowed anti-Semite who self-censors any references to actual Jews. Maybe he is and maybe he isn't but in any case I'm done with Buchanan.

Thanks to DoublePlusUndead for spotting this.

Update: Usually Buchanan has been careful to hide his Hitler-love, but in the past he's been willing to let it hang out.

Here's a quote from his 1977 review of John Toland's biography of Hitler:

"Those of us in childhood during the war years were introduced to Hitler only as caricature. Either he was a ranting, raving, carpet-chewing Chaplinesque buffoon -- or the anti-Christ, Satan Incarnate, a devil without human attribute who had hypnotized the German people.

Such ignorance is folly. Though Hitler was indeed racist and anti-Semitic to the core, a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide, he was also an individual of great courage, a soldier's soldier in the Great War, a political organizer of the first rank, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him.

But Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path."

And the masks slips in this Buchanan column from April of this year where he defended the concentration camp guard Demjanjuk:

"If Friday's ruling is upheld, John Demjanjuk, who has been charged with no crime on German soil, is to be taken to Germany, home of the Third Reich, to be tried by Germans for his alleged role in a genocide planned and perpetrated by Germans. He is to serve as the sacrificial lamb whose blood washes away the stain of Germany's sins.

....

The spirit behind this un-American persecution has never been that of justice tempered by mercy. It is the same satanic brew of hate and revenge that drove another innocent Man up Calvary that first Good Friday 2,000 years ago."

Nope. No anti-Semitism here.

Yes, Pat.  And the Jews forced the Germans to slaughter them by the millions by just being so financial, and shit.  I mean, those Jews just threw themselves at those Zyklon B tablets and into the pits where somehow, German bullets found the backs of their skulls.

Shocking what the evil Jews and Poles and Brits and French and Russians could force the poor, innocent, pacific Germans into.  I mean, really?  Everyone knew that they were just pushovers, and would never fight.  Mr. Burns said it best:  ""Eww! The Germans are mad at me! I'm so scared! EWW, the GERMANS!" (seriously): "Uh-oh, the Germans are coming to get me...." !"

If even Mr. Burns knows the Germans were pussycats, then they MUST have been forced into all those distasteful things they had to do.  Right, Pat?

"But where is the evidence that Adolf Hitler, whose victims as of March 1939 were a fraction of Gen. Pinochet's, or Fidel Castro's, was out to conquer the world?"

It's been 15 years since I read Gerhard Weinberg's A World at War, and I have forgotten his source material that led him to his conclusions, but basically he laid out that Hitler actually had such a plan, and that one reason why he unilaterally declared war on the United States on December 15, 1941 (if memory serves for the date) was that he figured he was going to get around to it eventually, and the US support for Britain via Lend-Lease and Neutrality Patrols was something he could no longer tolerate.

Obviously, a big mistake on his part, since I think he would have been better served not declaring war, instead tolerating the tacit belligerance of the United States as he took care of his ill-considered invasion of Russia (if able), because I doubt FDR would have been able to get a revenge-focused USA to hold-up rolling over the Japanese for a few years in order to fight the bigger threat.

21 During the Age of Reagan (Peace Be Upon Him) Pat made same good points concerning communism and conservatism... but now he's gone off the rails so bad you can't even see his caboose... for every now and then he has an urge to write a column or a book about poor lil ol' misunderstood Hitler, if we had just left him alone, peace and love and understanding would have just burst out...

And *that's* why he's MSNBC's favorite house conservative on those panel shows, so they can show the rest of the country just how nutty those Jew-hating knuckle-dragging conservatives really are...

Hitler had a program, read Mein Kampf. He needed more room,that is more land, for the German people. Poland was it. Besides, a notable part German territory was taken away from Germany after WWII, and was part of the new Poland. Hitler was going to take it no matter what. The same corralation can be said about Obama. He clearly stated what he is going to do if he was elected President. People are now in a howling frenzy, because he is going to do what he said. Why does History always repeat itself!

You gotta understand, Jews brought it on themselves. They should have turned the other cheek, like Ghandi said.

The Kristallnacht pogrom in 1938 was in retaliation for the foreign Jewish boycott of German goods. That boycott was of corse totally unjustified, because the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 were really not about Jews, they were...uh....um.....well, they were........Hey Pat, help me out here!

This is yet another thing that the paleo "right" has in common with the Left.  When searching for a list of root causes, they only go back so far as they can blame America (or the West or capitalism or whomever).

On top of it all, it's condescending to the "victims".  They treat them like mere animals without intellect.

Well, look, Buchanan's half right.  The WWI settlement really was crushingly punitive toward Germany, it really did split formerly German citizens into other nations against their wishes, and this did contribute to Germany's desire to re-arm and reclaim territory.

Now, none of that implies that Hitler personally was a good-faith actor.  This is where Buchanan goes off the rails.  The west *did* make almost every effort to accomodate Hitler, for nothing.  I think once he was firmly in power it was all over but the fighting and dying. 

But sane, non-Hitler apologist historians have wondered if Hitler would have come to power, or if WWII would have happened at all without the WWI settlement.  A desire to avoid repeating those mistakes informed the Marshall Plan, especially as applied to West Germany.  Some of Buchanan's points wouldn't be news at all, much less contreversial, if Americans were more historically literate.

One thing I always wondered was why the Soviet Union essentially got a free pass for invading the other half of Poland and the spending the next two years selling Nazi Germany all the petrol they wanted. The JU-88s flying over London during the blitz of 1940 were fueled with Soviet gas.

False. Most territorial changes in the East were the result of plebecites.

Also, considering Germany's own plans for peace if it had won WWI, calling Versailles "punitive" is asinine. The supposed "harsh nature" of Versailles was a load of propaganda dumped on the West by German generals/politicans after WWII in an attempt to justify their complicity within the regieme.

#33 No, Buchanan isn't half right. He isn't even a quarter right.

Versaiiles was punitive, but even before Hitler was elected the Germans were defaulting, and France and other countries had decided not to pursue pcollection. It was not crushing: that's a myth. It was VIEWED as crushing by Germans, but was by contemporary standards  leniant.

Furthermore, the Sudetanland Germans (for instance) were in a minority in the areas annexed, and he went after them before he went for danzig.

Buchanan is Glossiphonid, full stop.

39 Pat Buchanan never met an accused Nazi concentration camp he didn't defend. Hell, he's made a hobby of it. And of course, he's dabbled in historical revisionism, incredibly blaming the Democracies for somehow driving Hitler into war.

Posted by: CoolCzech at September 02, 2009 07:17 PM (kzhuA)

40 Oh and perhaps I should have specified Germany's peace aims in the event it had won. In the West there were several proposals that included stripping France of all of her colonies and the complete annexation of Belgium.

In the East no speculation was needed. In the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Germany annexed nearly a quarter of Russia's population and industry.

That German "intellectuals" would have the temerity to whine about the Allied peace imposed a year later beggars belief.

Bullshit. Germany started a war. Germany lost a war. Instead of being occupied, Germany got off easy and was required to pay a "compensation" - a tribute really. That's pretty damn acceptable in all wars since 5769 BC. 

The problem started when Wilson and the Euroweenies did not come with a feasible plan on how to enforce Versailles. Absolutely none. How the hell did they plan to enforce the demilitarization of Germany?

46 There is a train of thought that conjectures that is was excessive leniency and avoidance of firm, direct action against Hitler at the very beginnings of his chancellorship that helped create WWII -- in other words "peace in our time" helped to create the problem. If some country (read here: France, Britain, or America) had put their foot/feet down hard early on it could have been avoided or at least mitigated somewhat.

Most Americans did not want anything to do with the European war. A lot of Americans openly admired Hitler in the US . Lindbergh was one who comes to mind.

I think it had more to do with the bling. The Treaty of Versailles was all about the money. Occupation and demilitarization were things France and England didn't really care about, and that's why they were ignored. The economic sanctions and the reparations were all they cared about.

That's wrong, even though this:

which is why all serious historians consider WWII to be simply the continuation of WWI.

is right. You need to do some serious reading, 'cause NO serious historian considers the Treaty of Versailles to be "the cause of WWII". That's patheically naive reductive bullshit, nonsense and horsecrap. Start with Niall Ferguson's works.

67 BTW, if the Treaty of Versailles was such a swell idea, why was it ripped up and forgotten about in 1945?

Posted by: Jim in San Diego at September 02, 2009 07:54 PM (H7Rlw)


For starters, Germany didn't exist anymore as a unified country.

It's not that Versailles was a particularly good treaty... it's just that the Germans really TRULY hated the fact they lost the war. They can point fingers at Versaille (a treaty far kinder to Germany than Germany would have imposed on Britain, France, and - did, actually - Russia). It's just that at the end of the day, the German just couldn't cope with the fact their "superiority" wasn't enough to defeat non-Krauts. Make no mistake: Hitler didn't invent the concept of "German Superiority," nor did he have to convince the Germans that it was true. The German culture had stewed in German racism for centuries.

68 Also, while the Bund and its fellow travellers were a part of the isolationist, non-interference sentiment within the U.S. at that time, the influence of communist/socialist individuals, groups, and their sympathizers in keeping us from making a firm stand against Hitler -- at least prior to his invasion of the Soviet Union.  This was something that operated, I believe, not just in America however.

Taking losing side's money as a tribute is fine by any moral standard. Germany had to be occupied, and Versailles had to be implemented via viable system of...well... implementation. That's why NATO has real power and the UN is a do-nothing bitch. NATO can make you do stuff.

70 Buchanan's staunch branch of Catholicism (think Mel Gibson) provides a foundation for his rabid anti-Semitism and hatred of the Jewish people.  Thankfully, not all Catholics hold this view.  But there are many, who like Buchanan, are not at all hesitant to wrap this psuedo-justifiable contempt for Jesus' "murderers" and do so with passion (no pun intended).  This proved to be a useful tool by Hitler to feed a sentiment of contempt toward Jews that led to the Holocaust; the same sentiment which is again on the rise in Europe.

72 Marshall Foch wanted to continue the war and utterly crush all resistance before occupying all of Germany.He wanted to do it because he predicted without such a demonstration the Germans would do what they ended up doing,denying they lost the war and starting another with 20 years or so.Nobody had the will however to do what Foch wanted,they thought a strong enough treaty would be just as effective and would preclude further fighting and dying.The very fact that the Germans accepted such harsh terms proves how false later claims of the "stab in the back"were.They were in fact utterly beaten but only the Rhineland was occupied and the rest of Germany could rationalize the defeat as being caused only by traitors.When Hitler marched into the Rhinland he was totally bluffing and could easily have been crushed(which probably would have been the end of his political life).The French were willing to move but only with British help which was not forthcoming as the Brits were dead set on appeasement than and later.

Here's a clue for you: no serious historian will argue that something as massive and complicated as WWII has one cause. That's just wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong and the fact that all you could come back with is a lame nonsequitor about Ferguson demonstrates your underlying ignorance.

b)  the idiot in question did not call me a Jew hater, he called Catholics Jew haters and made the nutty assertion that Catholic influence was used by atheist Hitler in Protestant Germany to fan the flames of the Holocast.

c) as shocking as this may seem to some people, WWII had nothing to do with Jews. They were innocent bystanders who got caught up in it. If you want to talk WWII, talk WWII.

I agree that WWII was probably a continuation of WWI (as the Cold War was merely a branching off from WWII) and was disasterous to Europe and western civilization (actually, one could argue that western civilization, at its root in Europe was viewing the handwriting of its demise on the wall by 1914, and by 1918 was pretty much in a state of decline, at least as a political power).  That much I can agree with.

However, Buchanan (and those who think like him) is completely wrong to suppose that appeasement to Hitler would have avoided or mitigated any further problems with him -- quite the opposite imho, it encouraged him.  He is horridly, wickedly wrong in regards to his claims of Hitler's "peaceful intentions" towards neighboring countries and his reluctance to engage in genocide (dear God, it must take an almost wilful stupidity).  I also believe the isolationist school is woefully archaic: the last time America even had some modicum of chance at remaining isolationist was during WWI (and thanks to powers outside of our borders, from many different sides, we were helped along in our choice to intervene in that one, to the result of which we are where we are today -- perhaps a bittersweet thing).

Heh. Flenser, Germany was 1/3 Catholic: that isn't trivial, and Hitler did wrk awfully hard to get the Pope on his side, even if he failed.  Moreover, Nazi Propaganda was more than happy to use quotes by a very important leader of the OTHER 2/3 of German Christians, Martin Luther, in their antisemitic propaganda, to whip up the "Christ killer" sentiment. Here's something for you: Luther's The Jews and Their Lies.

Hitler admired that work, and said  so, publicly. Streicher could cite it verbatim. If you think religious antisemitism wasn't used by Hitler for his own ends, you also have to explain things like this:

92 A commenter above said if you far enough left or far enough right, you end up at the same spot. Not so. As Jonah Goldberg shows beyond doubt, that misconception arose because of word games on the part of the left to paint everything disagreeable as "right" and everything nice as "left." Fact is that the left favoers collectivist and authoritarian policies, the rright the opposite. Hitler was a socialist--if you don't believe me, read the Nazi party platform. So was Moussolini. Their acts and policies speak for themselves. The left would like to put Milton Friedman and Moussolini or Hitler all in the same box, when in fact Friedman had nothing in common with them philosophically.

The value of strategic bombing didn't become apparent until well after WWII had started and by that time it was too late. The had to fight with what they had 'brought to the dance'. The US and England were the only countries in WWII that had a credible strategic bombing force.

Germany's view of air power was strictly geared to the tactical. It was a doctrinal thing.

Oh, I forgot, Flenser. You said: The quality of Fergusons arguments on history do not hinge on his being an anti-Semite or not.

Well, if you are going to look at German history in the first half of the century, yes they do. An antiSemite will bring to that period biases which will make rational and dispassionate examination of the facts difficult, and will influence the selection, weighting and interpretation of facts such  that a non-historian will find it difficult to assess where the antisemitic biases are affecting the author. You may as well be saying that anti-black racism won't affect the quality of an analysis of the social history of American Civil War. It will, and from everything I can see, you are not a profesional historian and would be ill suited to assess the quality of such an histotrians arguments.

Wilson's League of Nations may have worked IF it had not caved into the, by that time extremely outdated pipe dream, European powers desire to return to pre-1914 staus quo (aka. the age of European empire).  I believe the U.S. Congress at that time, quite wisely imho, opted out of the League due to some intrinsic knowledge that this was not going to be very effective as it was developing (and in which case they proved correct).  Where the U.N. fails is probably in the same area as the League did.

 

I'm the one, by the by, who made the comment that if you go too far in either direction you end up with the same thing.  Perhaps Mr. Goldberg and I are not addressing the same things, but I still believe that if you go too far right (as an example of this I exhibit Mr. Buchanan) or too far to the left (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et al.) you tend to wind up with the same totalitarian/facist mindset.  This has nothing at all to do with the definition of conservative (or liberal) in the true meanings of those words (which have been butchered to be sure), nor the current political parties of the U.S.

And please, I am not so uneducated/ignorant as to believe that Hitler was not a socialist!  That was one of the reasons I believe he got such a pass at the beginning (especially from Stalin, who saw him as a fellow traveller).

1. He didn't say Catholics were Jew haters, he said that some were.  And that's a fact.

2. The assertion was not nutty: a. it was notconfined to Catholics. b. Catholics were politically more coherent in Germany than protestants and Hitler actively courted the Pope and c: Hitler definitely used Christ killer rhetoric,

3. You cannot say that Hitler was definitely an atheist: that's an absurdity. His innumerable references to Divine providence in what he wrote and said make that assertion tenuous and contentious at best. It is true that he doesn't seem to have been  any sort of normative Christian (judging by his discussions f St Paul) , but asserting baldly that he was an atheist is more than a bit too far. Read Mein Kampf, Hitler's Table Talk, any decent biography of the man.

You really should STFU.

109 The extremes of left and right don't usually meet in the same places, but sometimes occasionally.  This, it seems to me, is because conservatism is more inherently specific to any particular locality.  Goldberg was at some point asked if fascists aren't extreme right-wingers, who are?  If I recall correctly, he said that the right splits into two very different extremes: one would be anarchists, the other extreme reactionary traditionalists, like monarchists.  And I believe he classified Franco as an example of the latter, though he mistakenly gets lumped in with the fascists.  Franco's nationalism was an aspiration for the prenational pre-modern world, to return Spain to an imagined golden age of purity before not just liberalism, but the Reformation.  This is a diametrically different from Mussolini, who rejected Marx essentially because Marx's version of socialism wasn't modernist ENOUGH.

Bolshevism was at its core an inherently internationalist movement, as we painfully experienced for five decades. As Churchill famously said following the end of WWII, "We stuck the wrong pig."

112 Hitler had armed Germany to the teeth, re-militarized the Rhineland, annexed Austria, annexed the Sudetenland, and overrun what was left of Czechoslovakia. He had signed a secret military treaty with the USSR to split Poland in half. He had written openly about Germany needing to expand east and colonize the "inferior" Slavs.

But if we would have just let him have Danzig, he would have been happy, and no World War II. Riiight. This is the silliest thing since JFC Fuller blamed WWII on the "Jewish Money Power", and Buchanan doesn't have anything approaching Fuller's historical or strategic chops.

115 But where is the evidence that Adolf Hitler, whose victims as of March 1939 were a fraction of Gen. Pinochet's, or Fidel Castro's, was out to conquer the world?

March 1939 was three years after the 1936 Nuremberg laws stripped German Jews of their German citizenship and civil rights. March 1939 was 5 months after Kristalnacht, when  Jews, Jewish institutions and Jewish owned businesses in Germany were systematically vandalized and looted by the Nazis. True, they weren't murdered yet, but most reasonable people who don't already have "that Jew thing" would consider them victims.

BTW, the Dachau concentration camp had been in operation since 1933.

c) as shocking as this may seem to some people, WWII had nothing to do with Jews. They were innocent bystanders who got caught up in it. If you want to talk WWII, talk WWII.

Innocent bystanders who got caught up, heh fensy flensy? So, they were, like, what? Collateral damage? So Hitler just wanted to fight teh fight, and accidently farted out death camps while constipated? And then you deny you're a crypto-Nazi. Fuck you.

Sorry to let the facts get in your way, but the Israeli courts acquitted Demjanjuk in the 80s. At the very least, on that point, you are wrong for attacking Buchanan. I would trust the Israelis on matters like this more than I would the federal governments of the US or Germany.

Here's a quote from his 1977 review of John Toland's biography of Hitler:

While I do not disagree with your point... I don't know why you use this example. I don't see what it is suppose to exemplify. It's largely correct.

One of the lessons of WWII was supposedly the 'banality of evil'. Demons are not very banal. Rather extraordinary. If you paint Hitler and the nazis as being nothing more then a whirlwind of genocidal madness and aggression incarnate, you lose that. It can't be banal at all. They're inhuman. And if they're not human, then the things they did are not neccessary something humans are capable of. So we would never do it. It couldn't happen to us.

Which is what everyone was saying before WWI. We were civilized now, you see, and all that barbaric stuff was past.

And quite a few Germans. Even at war's end, "Hitler did WHAT? Oh no, come on, that's BS that couldn't happen here."

It's like when they find the bodies in the crawl space and the neighbors go "Oh, but he seemed like such a nice guy!". Evil can be banal. But if we portray them as a caricature and a monster we lose the message of that banality and let our guard down.

The war guarantee was not about Danzig, or even about Poland. It was about the moral and strategic imperative "to stop Hitler" after he showed, by tearing up the Munich pact and Czechoslovakia with it, that he was out to conquer the world. And this Nazi beast could not be allowed to do that.

This is the most laughably absurd revision.

Sure, there were SOME figures (figures who in the end came out on top and were vindicated- Churchill, Roosevelt) who might be described as having had this attitude.

But they were only embraced after they were proven right. Roosevelt clearly wanted war, but before Pearl Harbor the US people and congress wouldn't have it.

Churchill was "in the wilderness" and considered an extremist kook.

Chamberlin wanted peace at all costs and thought Hitler a reasonable man who could be dealt with. All world leaders admired him. He had rebuilt Germany. He was on the cover of Time Magazine as Person of the Year. There was not many who thought of Hitler as a "nazi beast".

Hell, for one, almost everyone was socialist back then (as well as eugenicist). Roosevelt supported eugenics, and so did Churchill. God knows FDR was all for socialism. Germany was and had been a leading culture of the world, for years all the scientific advances came from Germany. Much of the artistic and cultural influences came from Germany. It was more admired then anything, especially among the elites and policymakers.

Hitler didn't invent the gas ovens. The guys at Cold Springs Lab envied the gas ovens, because they were so more advanced, progressive, cutting edge, and leading the movement.

Suddenly you trust Israeli justice? Really? Anyway, the fact is they acquitted him of being Ivan the Terrible. Turned out he was another Nazi guard, and Israeli neglegence was that they requested deportation on the grounds of him being Ivan the Terrible, and couldn't prosecute him for being anybody else, even if he turned out to be Goebbels. So, he got off on a technicality. And now Germany is gonna set stuff straight, even if you and Uncle BuchFuhrer squirm like treeless hippies.

Posted by: MarkD at September 03, 2009 10:24 AM (MMy4A)

125

Oh puhleeze, Juicer, that was a cheap shot. Keep in mind that the Demjanjuk incident began at at time when the Soviet Union still existed, and it was pretty clear that the Soviets had a "show trial" in mind when they initially dug this case up. Did Demjanjuk collaborate with the Nazis? Yes. Millions of Ukranians did, because the Soviets were worse. The Soviets were worse for everyone trapped in Eastern Europe, unless of course you were Jewish, and even then not by much. (See "Doctors Plot" and Stalins's planned purges of "Rootless Cosmopolitans").

Pat Buchanan is a pigheaded isolationist fool, and sadly, yes, an anti-Semite. But he was right about Demjanjuk.

126 When Buckley called Buchanan an anti-Semite back in the 90's, I was initially skeptical,
How the hell could you be skeptical about Buchanan's Jew hatred? Were you blind??

Every swinging dick in Europe knew that Hitler was on a war footing; it wasn't exactly a secret that Germany was arming itself and that Hitler had expansionist ambitions

And yet, fools and traitors abounded in Britain and France who were more blind to this than Buchanan. (Lord Halifax, Pierre Laval, to name a couple off the top of my head).

128 The major mistake the allies made in 1918 was not forcing the German generals to sign the armistice at Compiegne.

Obviously, a big mistake on his part, since I think he would have been better served not declaring war, instead tolerating the tacit belligerance of the United States as he took care of his ill-considered invasion of Russia (if able), because I doubt FDR would have been able to get a revenge-focused USA to hold-up rolling over the Japanese for a few years in order to fight the bigger threat.

Frankly, I have wondered sometimes what if the USA had gone full-tilt "Asia First"? Watching the Nazis and the Soviets slug each other to death while still securing the Atlantic and salvaging the KMT in China and salvaging the British Empire might have saved us the horrors of Mao, Korea, and Vietnam.

And *that's* why he's MSNBC's favorite house conservative on those panel shows, so they can show the rest of the country just how nutty those Jew-hating knuckle-dragging conservatives really are...

Bingo. Three groups of "Conservatives" the MSM will tolerate and celebrate:

1. "Beautiful Losers" who get bullied on panels by the Left (Tucker Carlson)

2. "Sellouts" who might also arguably fit into category #1 (Peggy Noonan, Kathleen Parker, et. al.)

3. Obvious Ogres, meant to scare the children (Pat Buchanan)

"We did trade Hitler for Stalin."

Really? I guess all the history books are wrong when they say Germany broke thier non-aggression treaty and attacked the USSR. We sided with the Russians because they were enemies of Germany, plain and simple. It was a marraige of convenience and everyone--Churchill, FDR and Truman--knew it.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." - Sun Tsu (I believe)

re enemy of my enemy: I don't know who said that first, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't Sun Tzu.

http://tinyurl.com/oxxune

I'm willing to be corrected.

That aside, Curmudgeon, Stalin was an enemy of the Jewish people for sure (every time he said "cosmopolitan" read "Jew") , and you can make a fair argument that he was a worse despot than Hitler, but I really don't think there is much of an argument to be made that Stalin was somehow nearly as bad towards Jews as Hitler. In Stalin's Russia, you could get ahead if you were a Jew and renounced your people (ex: Lazar Kaganovich). You would still get crap for being a Jew, or marrying one (ex: Molotov) , and sometimes killed but they didn't automatically gas you . In Hitler's Germany...not so much.

Posted by: HiHo at September 03, 2009 12:18 PM (5V/kc)

133

No disagreement there, HiHo. Like I said, the Jews fared better under Stalin even if the rest of the Eastern Europeans didn't.

But like the Arthur Rudolph case (an ex-Nazi who, I think, was sentenced to and performed valuable national "community service" by working in the USA space program, only to be deported years later), I was rather annoyed by the travesty of the John Demjanjuk case, who frankly only did what millions of other Ukranians did to survive. A case that was begun by the propaganda mills of TASS.

I suppose one could make an academic argument that Danzig was not the place to draw the line on Hitler and somewhere else was, but an utter asshat like Pat Buchanan still very much sickens me. No quarrel there

135 In the sense that had Britain and France heeded Churchill's warnings back in 1936 and taken action when the Rhineland was remilitarized, actually the title makes a lot of sense. What Buchanan does with it, however....

Posted by: Curmudgeon at September 03, 2009 02:12 PM (ujg0T)

136

I haven't bothered reading the comments above or Pat's column to see if anyone's made this point, but just to add something quickly, for those that say WW2 was started because of the harsh treatment of Germany after losing WW1, the Allies used the harsh treaty the German Empire forced on France in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War as their template.

Posted by: andycanuck at September 03, 2009 08:17 PM (IS9r6)

137 Yeah, to the astute learned individual who contested my pont about trading Hitler for Stalin by suggesting that Hitler attacked first...wow...so the build-up of Soviet forces on the Eastern front doesn't dissuade you one bit? Perhaps the reports, now known to the public about the Soviet plans for the eventual attack on Germany might serve you well. Nonetheless, I think it is fair and arguable that Hitler could've been contained. Stalin, and more speicifically Bolshevism, was always meant to be international in scope. How could this be refuted? Sun Tzu? That's all you have to defend your argument? Nuts!
