> BUCHANAN'S A REPUBLIC, NOT AN EMPIRE � A MANIFESTO FOR THE NEW ANTIWAR MOVEMENT
>
> While op ed pieces and television talking heads speculate on and debate the
> political impact of Patrick J. Buchanan's switch to the Reform Party, and the
> Republican Establishment goes ballistic, the real story of what makes Pat run is
> to be found in the pages of his latest book. Released just as the attacks on
> (and rising support for) PJB are reaching a crescendo, A Republic, Not an Empire
> is most definitely not a campaign book of the sort we are all-too-used to, one
> such as George Dubya and/or Gore the Bore might write, filled with pompous
> bromides, innocuous blather, and more padded than the intake room at Bellvue. It
> is indeed not a campaign book at all, unless you are talking about Buchanan's
> ongoing campaign to inject a note of sanity into the foreign policy debate: it
> is, instead, the passionately written, startlingly original, and intellectually
> daring manifesto of a principled noninterventionist, whose distinct and unique
> view of America and the world is expressed in nearly flawless prose.

> A MILESTONE
>
> Whether or not he really believes he can be elected President is not the subject
> of this column, and I take no position (and neither does Antiwar.com) on whether
> he will or ought to be elected to that exalted office. I can only say that the
> appearance of this book is a milestone in the history of the opposition to war
> in this country. For here, between two covers, is the case for peace and
> nonintervention, for a foreign policy that puts America not only first, but also
> � as Pat likes to put it � second and third as well. Aside from his few
> allusions to trade protectionism � a view with which I thoroughly disagree, but
> which is easily separable from his foreign policy stance � this book is a near
> perfect summary of the most important issue of our time: the vital question of
> war and peace. There are not many guideposts we can point to that offer a
> consistent vision of what a pro-American noninterventionist foreign policy would
> be like, or why it is preferable to the crusading globalism of our bloody-minded
> rulers: A Republic, Not an Empire is one of them.
