Well, it did take him less than one year after Munich to come to his senses. And he had the decency to resign, make way for Churchill and keep his piehole shut thereafter.

Show me any modern appeaser who can measure up to any of those qualities.

Chamberlain was the wrong man at the wrong place at the wrong time. Of course, the French leadership was equally inept in confronting Hitler.

Were it not for Florida going for George W. Bush in 2000 by an extremely narrow margin, a decision supported by a Supreme Court majority, Al Gore would have been President on September 11, 2011. Other than some token strikes to save face, Gore's response would have been the same as those we have seen from Carter, Clinton, and Obama.

One should note that after Munich, one Joseph Stalin made yet another agreement with Hitler, so the wells of supidity of European Diplomacy with Hitler were not dry after Hitler betrayed Chamberlain.

Politically Roosevelt tried to take credit for Munich, but that was too much of a stretch for even the US laptod press of the day.

Six months after leaving office, Neville Chamberlain was dead. So that is part of the reason.

But yes, he did resign after the twin hammer blows of the Anglo-French failure in Norway and the German invasion of France and the Low Countries.
