Libya and the War of Northern Aggression

Pat Buchanan had an excellent column today in which he drew an analogy between Obama’s undeclared war against Libya and Lincoln’s war against The South.

Yet, again, why are we bombing Libya?

Gadhafi did not attack the West. He faced an uprising to dethrone him and rallied his troops to crush it, as any ruthless ruler would have done. We have no vital interest in who wins his civil war.

Indeed, Gadhafi has asked of Obama, “If you found them taking over American cities by force of arms, what would you do?”

Well, when the South fired on Fort Sumter, killing no one, Abraham Lincoln blockaded every Southern port, sent Gen. Sherman to burn Atlanta and pillage Georgia and South Carolina, and Gen. Sheridan to ravage the Shenandoah. He locked up editors and shut down legislatures and fought a four-year war of reconquest that killed 620,000 Americans – a few more than have died in Gadhafi’s four-week war.

Good thing we didn’t have an “international community” back then.

The Royal Navy would have been bombarding Lincoln’s America.

Is America Becoming a Tower of Babel? An Interview with Pat Buchanan

Pat Buchanan recently gave an interview in which he described America as becoming a Tower of Babel. About mid-way through the interview, he touches on how the history of the Confederate States is taught (or not taught) in the schools. It is well worth watching – as are just about all interviews with Mr. Buchanan.
