Bush, and His Use of "Appeasement" ("Hitler's demands were not unreasonable"-Barf Alert)

All of which Hitler did get without firing a shot. But when the Germans took over the Czech lands in the spring of 1939, it became apparent even to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, the arch appeaser, that there was no limit to the German demands in Europe. Great Britain then faced two choices: it could fight or it could die. It chose the former when Germany went to war in September 1939 by invading Poland.

Bruce Ramsey is an editorial writer for the Seattle Times.

That, in itself, tells you why the ST is so far to the left.

They should be ashamed to have him on the staff. However, there is an opening at “Dur Sturmer.” Seems Joseph Goebbels isn’t available right now.

The article just proves how flawed this thinking is. If the peaceniks think that Hitler was “reasonable” until 1939, then any present or future madman will be considered “reasonable” as well. The peaceniks have no standard with which to estimate a threat. All they have is the vain hope that the next Hitler will be “reasonable.” They think it is unreasonable to even try to conisder whether a threat is real — just ignore the evidence and hope for the best.

It would take a Democrat to be able to justify national leaders meeting to carve a piece out of a nation not present.

I wonder if Bruce fantasizes about shooting the von Trapp family or just hanging them?
