Neville Chamberlain thought there were moderate tendencies in Hitler that could be cultivated and exploited. If Chamberlain really knew what type of genocidal monster the Fuhrer was, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have wasted his precious time trying to talk to him. Similarly I’m afraid Obama does not realize that the Iranian Big Man may, like Hitler, actually mean what he says.
This posted just as I was writing my own post mentioning Chamberlain.
Colonel Kangeroo gets it. I sure wish Obama did.
