I also dislike Buchanan, but in this one he is indeed on the mark.

I've followed Buchanan for decades with rather mixed feelings about him and, like you, have discovered he has much to offer on any number of questions. But he always disappoints with a curious schizophrenia, his endorsement of Bush in the last election despite his repeated excoriation of him in many of his pieces. Some - repeat some - of Buchanan is faith inspired but not all, believe me. He's all to frequently driven - as are many - by his dislike of American political liberalism. It causes him to loose perspective at times. His strengths in my view, life questions, the Middle East in many respects, and his views on outsourcing. Buchanan is an odd mix though, don't trust him always to please you.
