...adorn a cement memorial. Black banners decry Israel's "terrorism" and "barbarity." But did Israel attack the U.N. base deliberately? Lebanese say yes. Israel vehemently says no, it was an accident. Last week the U.N. reported on its own investigation by Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali's top military adviser. The verdict clobbered Israel. "It is unlikely," wrote Major General Franklin van Kappen in his six-page report, "that the shelling of the U.N. compound was the result of gross technical and/or procedural errors...

That prospect rattles members of the Clinton Administration, since Bob Dole gets applause by pillorying Boutros-Ghali as an architect of Clinton's foreign policy. The Administration does not yet have an alternative, but may try to dissuade Boutros-Ghali by threatening to exercise...
Buchanan's conservatism feeds on fear and derision. "You're not doing well? Blame the immigrant who took your job, the New York Jew, 'Bou-Bou Ghali' (I kid you not--his term), the countries with which we trade and the liberals who dilute the American soul." It is the conservatism of the opportunist, and it builds nothing...
