The Right at War With Itself. (Meet the Press)

Newt Gingrich believes the Iraq war was an absolutely necessary war, and the US and the world are better off now that he's gone.

Patrick Buchannan believes the Iraq war was an unnecessary and unwise war, creating more terrorists than we are killing.

That's the sound of the Right at war with itself -- a wedge to wiggle in the Republican party. Gingrich's flavor of the Right is the neo-con flavor -- traditional red-meat Republicans, retired military, wealthy business owners, people who believe in a militaristic government, that our military power should define our relations with other countries. This is the Right which is in power in the administration. Buchannan's flavor is the isolationist flavor -- which falls in line with the "left-wing" anti-globalization constituencies within American manufacturing labor.
