So since he is such a brilliant and intelligent man you agree with everything he says? Personally I almost never agree with Buchanon. I think conservative measured approaches have been tried in the middle east for decades. It isn't working. I'm glad somebody was finally willing to try something different. It's time to upset the steady state of terrorism, tyranny, and oppresion in the middle east. Our dependence on Mideast oil has made us very timid in dealing with some very unsavory characters in the region for more than half a century. It has also meant making deals with one devil (ex Saddam) to fight another (ex Khomeni) rather than risking bringing the focus squarely on us. It's time for that kind of crap to stop.
