But Churchill would snort, I believe, at the administration's equation of "Islamofascism," an amorphous, ill-defined movement of killers forced to resort to terrorism by their lack of military might, to Nazi Germany, a global power that had already conquered several countries before Churchill took office in 1940.

A poor article. It's basically a twist on the "WOT is not really serious, it's just a bumper sticker" argument, and basically trying to marshal Churchill on the same side of the debate with Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and John Edwards. Not buying.

Easy to ignore the fact that Churchill lived in a different time.

Churchill reacted to his time in history - not to what leaders before him had done.

Bush reacts to his time in history.

A comparison is really worthless because the times are different, the men have different talents and the circumstances are different as well as the wars being different.

So, if Churchill was here today, he might well have done many of the things Bush has done. And, I doubt that he would have been any more popular.

Churchill was warning from the start of Nazi Germany when it was still very militarily weak (and was call a war monger for it)... the whole historical point of why appeasement was so bad is Nazi Germany was bluffing and exploiting the lack of will of the west till it was to late... the west could have strangled Nazi Germany with easy at it's birth and for severals years after and has every justification to do so for violating the term on the WW1 armistice

(Gee a bluffing dictator violating the terms of a peace treaty from a recent war---never heard of that before)

This persons point is so stupid... why did Churchill get the label "war monger" in the mid 30's... how was Churchill later famed for being the lone voice in the wilderness waring of the Nazi threat while European slept....if... Churchill only lobbied for war on Nazi Germany after war had started in 39 and had already conquered several countries before Churchill took office in 1940

"WOT is not really serious, it's just a bumper sticker" argument,

It's not serious. We have an open border, 100000 new legal Mohammedans a year coming to America, prayer breaks for them in California's public schools, and a president who just finished falling on his sword for a bill that would've granted amnesty to the 9/11 hijackers and the Ft. Dix terrorists.
