thats bad spelling,

Neville Chamberlain on Appeasement (1939

Britain and France pursued a policy of appeasement in the hope that Hitler would not drag Europe into another world war. Appeasement expressed the widespread British desire to heal the wounds of World War I and to correct what many British officials regarded as the injustices of the Versailles Treaty. Some officials regarded a powerful Germany as a bulwark against the Soviet Union.

On September 27, 1938, when negotiations between Hitler and Chamberlain were strained, the British Prime Minister addressed the British people. Excerpts of this speech and another before the House of Commons are included here.

so forth etc...

I hope you understand I was not making light of your misspelling, I truly did not understand what you were referring to, and thought it was a reference I did not know about.

However, the phrase that always strikes me is the one where Czechoslovakia is told, after Munich, that she needs to remodel her relationships so as not to give offense to her neighbors.

Place that statement against what is said about the U.S. in regards to the current world situation.
