It’s Their War, Not Ours
by Patrick J. Buchanan

*** begin quote ***

What is the theme, where is the consistency in U.S. policy?

We backed the dictators Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia and Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, who were as autocratic as Gadhafi, whom we demand be deposed.

We support the dictator in Yemen, the absolute monarch in Saudi Arabia, the king in Bahrain, the sultan in Oman and the emir in Kuwait, but back pro-democracy demonstrators in Iran, though there have been more elections in Iran than in all those other nations put together.

*** end quote ***

You have to like how Pat cuts foreign policy to the bottom line.

We’ve ignored the Dead Old White Guys advice on so many things. Washington’s “no entangling alliances” is particularly on point.

Maybe the geniuses in DC should ask: “What would Switzerland do?”
