Cohen contends that the evil of the Holocaust makes it a “good war.” But the destruction of the Jews of Europe was a consequence of this war, not a cause.

Come on Pat, Hitler planned the Final Solution in the 30’s for crying out loud. It was going to be put in place regardless of whether WWII was fought or not.

Hitler was going to attack the USSR. Sooner or later. No matter what. And he was going to colonize it. That left the Slavs as potential slave labor. Bot the Jews in occupied Russia? Buchanan’s an ass.

Within Germany, yes. But when Germany & the Axis gained control of (almost) all of Europe, the brakes were off.

I would add that Buchanan’s point is moot because Germany started the war, so the question of whether the Holocaust somehow a consequence of WW2 is just silly.
