![]() "David Brooks" wrote in message ... It's your political forbears who were the master appeasers, right up to Pearl Harbor and (as far as Europe is concerned) beyond. It took well over two years before you committed troops despite the begging from your cloest allies. It wasn't our fight. Besides, why were you folks caught with your pants down in the first place? And the mid-century American right wing positively adored Mussolini. So did the left...and they loved Hitler and Stalin as well. They all loved dictators as being such classy guys. And why did England adopt so many policies from Hitler and Mussolini after the war? So, from a European perspective, pious crap about appeasement doesn't sit well coming from the US - let's admit it; the jaw/war choice is sensitive to specific points in time, to each side's attempt at self-justification, and can only be judged later from a historical perspective. And maybe some people learn from the experiences of others. So you can shove YOUR pompous crap up your back side. Now, by "right" I meant the traditional middle-American conservative. Meaning what? WD, what would the Libertarian viewpoint have been between Munich and Pearl Harbor? What about after PH? The libertarian viewpoint would have been my remark above; "It's not our fight". |
