How badly Buckley buckles?

Dear Bill Buckley,

I have admired your Firing Lines and other contributions/blogs to our civilization for many years

BUT

became increasingly disappointed with your sagacity displayed a few days ago on the Charlie Rose show.

My sadness deepen'd as your opinion about the Iraq's liberation played DIRECTLY into the far left views of your host - a relentless brilliant critique,warrior and key player in the liberal wars against our President & his administration. To me you
appear to have been used as a willing tool by a clever, smiling adversary to fire
another cheap shot against President Bush.

I admired you and hoped you'd hold onto your STATESMANLIKE grand panoramic view of history - instead your hostility against Iraq's liberation and sceptimism about establishing a second democracy in the Middle-East sounds closer to alQaida
propaganda than an uttarance by America's senior respected Mr. Conservative.

YOU seem to have forgotten that the UN has passed some 16 resolutions against Saddam - each and every one ignored. This flagrant disregard of the UN threatened to undermine the entire structure of world order. The rule of law was in jeopardy. Bush stepped in when a seventeenth [or so] resultion was presented, passed and then ENFORCED by America. This not only temporarily saved a tottering world order's credibility but got riddance of one of the worst opressors I have known.

I know what I speak of -- I have witnessed personally the atrocities of the Nazis and the Soviets.

You appear to me so fossilized/devoted to your misguided loss of faith in America and the percieved failure in Iraq so devotedly wished by the Democrats AND your host Charlie Rose - that you dont appear to show even a glimmer of recognition that America WILL succeed in Iraq and elsewhere in the longlong war against Terror.

I speak with authority. I'm the adoped son of an Ambassador to the League of Nations who railed against its supine surrender to Hitler and el Duce in the 1930's. Dr. Eckhardt has forseen with absolute clarity that appeasement will lead to inevitable
war of the most hideous kind. .I was among those who suffered directly the dire consequences. He is my mentor.

Now I see with absolute clarity that continued appeasement of the Terrorists and undermining traitorously from the inside a la New York Times our determination to defeat Evil --- will lead to needless prolongation of our present war against the
Evil Forces of our planet.

I invite you to join in this struggle against evil! I trust this email is your wake-up call and that we can count on your immeasurable talents and prestige not to aid and abet the likes of Rose, but be in the forefront in our struggle against
history's greatest challange so far.

Sincerely
