This is one of my favorite PJB columns. He wrote it in 1994, but it could have been written this morning!

May Christ bless all of you and your families this Easter!

Of Truth and Tolerance… at Easter
by Patrick J. Buchanan – April 3, 1994

“Truly, this was the Son of God.” So spoke the Roman sentry on Calvary on that first Good Friday as he saw the heavens darken at the death of the Man on the Cross.

The Easter pardon by Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of the 15 British sailors and Marines, seized by Iranian Revolutionary Guards in waters off the Iraqi coast, two weeks ago, ends the crisis.

And as the beaming smile of President Ahmadinejad, as he graciously accepted apologies from the sailors and Marines, testifies, there is no doubt as to who won the showdown. Among Iranians, for whom love of the Brits is an acquired taste, Ahmadinejad is victor. His position inside Iran, a subject of speculation, is surely stronger today.
