Since Maastricht there has been a growing sense of irritation among Germany's neighbors on a variety of issues. The ink on the Maastricht agreement was hardly dry before Bonn pressured -- some say bullied -- the rest of the E.C. into recognizing the breakaway Yugoslav republics of Croatia and Slovenia. Most of the 12 preferred to wait to give E.C. negotiators a chance to implement a cease-fire, but Germany forced a decision by threatening to go it alone.

Far from being an "isolationist," Buchanan called for the immediate recognition of Slovenia, Croatia, Ukraine and the Baltics when those nations declared independence from their communist oppressors. And he is the only candidate who won't hide behind tired, reactionary calls for "stability" when Quebec secedes from Canada later this year, or when devolution becomes a reality in Scotland...
