...even his archconservative pal William Buckley Admits it), a vote for isolationism (Buchanan's spin on the Gulf War: a travesty planned and financed by Jews, fought by real Americans), a vote for Japan-bashing protectionism (America First, dammit), a vote for Dukesque racial codewords (what was that about Zulu immigration...

He was apparently overruled by hard-liners. Last August, as Buthelezi's followers sought to expand their influence beyond Inkatha's stronghold of Natal, fierce clashes erupted in the black townships around Johannesburg.
