Buckley, 82 years old, died today after a life consecrated to the defence of the ideals upon which our civilization is built and without which it would surely crumble.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934462\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Yale educated Buckley founded the <em>National Review</em> magazine in 1955 and remained its editor for three decades.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934463\" data-originallang=\"en\">George Herbert Walker Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934464\" data-originallang=\"en\">President Reagan told Buckley:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"934465\" data-originallang=\"en\"> You didn't just part the Red Sea\u2014you rolled it back, dried it up, and left exposed, for all the world to see, the naked desert that is statism. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"934466\" data-originallang=\"en\">He exposed socialism as the oppressive ideology it is, and its ugly sibling, communism, as one of the most evil ideas to ever infect the earth.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934467\" data-originallang=\"en\">A prominent Canadian author, Adam Daifallah, said that he popularized \u201csmaller government, tax cuts and total victory over the Soviet Union\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934468\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is a great loss to us all.</p>",

Buckley est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 aujourd'hui \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge de 82 ans. Il a consacr\u00e9 sa vie \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense des id\u00e9aux sur lesquels notre civilisation est fond\u00e9e et sans lesquels elle s'\u00e9croulerait certainement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934462\" data-originallang=\"en\">M. Buckley, qui a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 \u00e0 Yale, a fond\u00e9 le magazine <em>National Review</em> en 1955 et en a \u00e9t\u00e9 le r\u00e9dacteur en chef pendant trois d\u00e9cennies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934463\" data-originallang=\"en\">George Herbert Walker Bush lui a remis la M\u00e9daille pr\u00e9sidentielle de la libert\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934464\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le pr\u00e9sident Reagan a dit ce qui suit \u00e0 M. Buckley:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"934465\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Vous n'avez pas seulement s\u00e9par\u00e9 la mer Rouge, vous l'avez soulev\u00e9e, l'avez fait s\u00e9cher et avez montr\u00e9 au monde entier le d\u00e9sert vide qu'est l'\u00e9tatisme. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"934466\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 la nature oppressive de l'id\u00e9ologie socialiste et de son vilain grand fr\u00e8re, le communisme, une des id\u00e9es les plus inf\u00e2mes qui ait jamais infect\u00e9 notre monde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934467\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un grand auteur canadien, Adam Daifallah, a dit de M. Buckley qu'il a popularis\u00e9 l'id\u00e9e d'une r\u00e9duction de la taille du gouvernement, de baisses d'imp\u00f4t et d'une victoire totale sur l'Union sovi\u00e9tique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"934468\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une grande perte pour nous tous.</p>"
