I understood the historic context you placed it in and it made perfect sense. It is too what he said, he compared it to 1936 rather then 1945, I did the same at the same time.

I, too, understood his replacement of the historical context from '45 to '36. But he still said "once again we will do nothing" - and we are already doing something. What we are accomplishing in Iraq does not involve only Iraq. It is exposing the UN and European ties to the despot rule and corruption that enabled the massacre of tens of thousands (or more) of Iraqis in ethnic cleansing. Saddam's Iraq was not an island - and his connection to terrorism, along with his connections to EU and UN leaders, will make a full circle. We ARE doing something - we are acting early. We are building a case. We are exposing the evil. We are wiping it out.
If some are avoiding their appointed task for freedom, it is the members of the organized free press of the USA. However WE have the internet now and can fulfill our duties as free citizens to report the truth. That is how WE are doing and shall do something. It is nothing like 1936 in America, we have the power of information now.
