I am happy that you trust Buckley, but I don't think that's what he meant at all when he wrote about Buchanan in the December 30 issue of National Review, although his words have been misinterpreted.

Bezic devised a short program for her that was the most distinctive at the U.S. nationals...
BEYOND INDUCING AMNESIA, priming the symbolic pump had marvelous, if temporary, effects on how Americans saw themselves. Our technology suddenly became the best: Our smart bombs, our cruise missiles, our infrared goggles, our Patriot missiles (no Sonys here, pal) not only vanquished the primitive weapons of the Iraqis, they vanquished them humanely.
