THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW - November 6, 2009

The American Way of Abandonment
by Pat Buchanan

When America is about to throw an ally to the wolves, we
follow an established ritual. We discover that the man we
supported was never really morally fit to be a friend or
partner of the United States.

When Chiang Kai-shek, who fought the Japanese for four
years before Pearl Harbor, began losing to Mao's
Communists, we did not blame ourselves for being a
faithless ally, we blamed him. He was incompetent; he
was corrupt.

We did not lose China. He did.

When Buddhist monks began immolating themselves in South
Vietnam, the cry went up: President Diem, once hailed as
the "George Washington of his country," was a dictator,
a Catholic autocrat in a Buddhist nation, who had lost
touch with his people.

And so, word went out from the White House to the generals.
Get rid of Diem, and you get his power and U.S. support.
Three weeks before JFK was assassinated, Diem and his
brother met the same fate.

When the establishment wished to be rid of a war into which
it had plunged this country, suddenly it was "the corrupt
and dictatorial Thieu-Ky regime" in Saigon that was simply
not worth defending.

Lon Nol, our man in Phnom Penh, got the same treatment.

"In this world it is often dangerous to be an enemy of the
United States, but to be a friend is fatal," said Henry
Kissinger.

The army of South Vietnam and the Saigon government, the
boat people of the South China Sea and the million victims
of Pol Pot's genocide can testify to that before the
judgment seat of history.

Thus the daily attacks on Afghan President Hamid Karzai --
who sat beside Laura Bush as guest of honor at the 2002
State of the Union and got a standing ovation -- as the
corrupt ruler of a corrupt regime, whose brother, a
narcotics trafficker, has been on the CIA's payroll, seems
a signal that the ritual is about to begin. The Karzai
brothers should probably read up on the fate of the Diem
brothers.

Yet never has an ally been more egregiously insulted in
wartime than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's insulting
of the Pakistanis on her "fence-mending" trip last week. In
a meeting with editors, Hillary was asked why the United
States was focusing its Predator strikes in the war on
terror so heavily upon Pakistan.

Said Hillary, "Al-Qaida has had safe haven in Pakistan
since 2002. ...I find it hard to believe that nobody in
your government knows where they are and couldn't get
them if they really wanted to."

This is charging the Pakistani government, army and
intelligence services with cowardice or collusion with
bin Laden and al-Qaida in the war on terror. That it was
made within hours of the bloodiest in a long series of
terror attacks that have killed hundreds of Pakistanis
only magnifies the insult.

So, too, does the fact that the Pakistani army, after
cleansing the Swat Valley of the Taliban, is now fighting
in South Waziristan in the most critical battle of the
war.

But, if this is what the Obama administration and the
Congress believe, why are they sending $7.5 billion in
new aid to such a regime?

Moreover, the charge is, on its face, demonstrably false.

If Pakistan's intelligence services, army and government
all knew the exact location of bin Laden, we would know
it. For we have people inside sympathetic to us, just as
some are sympathetic to al-Qaida.

And if people inside discovered the exact location of bin
Laden or al-Qaida, they would leak it to us, if only
because the money on the table for such intelligence is
irresistible.

Is Secretary Clinton suggesting there are people throughout
the Pakistani government who have information that could
make them rich for life, but refuse to reveal it out of
purest loyalty to a gang of terrorists who are massacring
their countrymen as well as Americans?

That there are warlords who are war criminals, allied with
the Afghan regime and us, that drug-traffickers are abetted
by high officials, that Karzai stole the election, no one
denies.

That the Pakistani intelligence services are shot through
with elements loyal to a Taliban they helped bring to
power in Kabul, that there are Pakistani army officers who
believe they should be defending their country against
India, not fighting America's war in Waziristan, is also
undeniable.

But what does it avail us to insult these people who have
cast their lot with us, many of whom will, with famines
and friends, pay a far more terrible price than we if we
lose these wars.

And if we are going to abandon these people, as we have so
many others in the past, let us at least tell them, and
ourselves, the truth. We didn't know what we were getting
into. We don't have the stomach for a long war. We're sorry
we got you into this. Your big mistake was in trusting us.
You folks should have known better.
