[Susannah]

"Saddam persisted in gross violation of the terms of cease-fire he signed with us. Accordingly, he forfeited the privilege of continuing in power. We did the same thing to him that should have been done to Hitler when he violated the terms of Versailles by occupying the Rhineland."

SO TRUE! And the League of Nations merely condemned the Japanese invasion of China. I can imagine Hitler must have felt emboldened by that lack of action too.

Why PM Neville Chamberlain never heeded Churchill's warnings about Hitler, I'll never understand. Churchill nailed it when France and England gave Germany the Sudentland in an effort to appease Hitler. Chuchill said something like, "They had to choose between dishonor and war. They chose dishonor; they shall have war.

[Bonaparte]

The best that can be said about Chamberlain is that he was really, really well dressed.
