Stupid, Stupid, Stupid...

Its one of those "Why on earth would you go there?!?!???" moments.

"Was It Worth It?" The recent article by Pat Buchanan which essentially decides that one evil in history negates the validity of the struggle against the evil that existed before it. Sigh.

Its bad enough that this man came to this ridiculous suggestion...its worse that he's also associated with the church and therefore will attract those that are looking for any reason to propagate the idea that Christians are callous to the troubles of the world--that he never once mentions the holocaust in his article (either as a positive OR a negative) is truly disturbing. And so the reaction is fairly predictable.

I'm not prepared to summarily judge Mr Buchanan one way or the other...but this was a really bad choice. Really bad. Maybe I'm extra sensitive cause I love history...but this is almost inexcusable in its narrowminded scope.

Plus, I'm a Churchill fan. Big time. Sigh...Bad, Bad, Bad choice.
