[Peace-discuss] Is US Being Sucked Into Syria's War?

Wed Feb 14 21:18:05 UTC 2018

Nothing compares to Nicholson Baker’s “Human Smoke”. I doubt I would appreciate Baker’s other books but I was pleased to note “In 2001 he published Double Fold, in which he accuses certain librarians of lying about the decay of materials and being obsessed with technological fads, at the expense of both the public and historical preservation.”
Something I thought was recent, getting rid of books, in favor of technology. A mistake we may live to regret, if the grid ever goes down, as well as elitist in that not everyone has access to technology.

His WWII book might almost be compared to Nicholson Baker’s excellent "Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization" (2008).

He’s a paleoconservative, bitterly opposed to the neocons and the Iraq War. Also something of  a racist, but a cogent critic of US warmaking, at least in this century.

Buchanan was a fervent anticommunist cold warrior during Soviet times, but has become more reasonable since. His book about how WWII might have been avoided, Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War,  is useful, if somewhat fanciful.

Buchanan is a historian and longtime critic of America's wars.  He wrote a great book delineating all of our conflicts up to the time of writing:

I never thought I would see Patrick Buchanan urge caution on the part of warmakers.
