Right here:
From March to August 1939, Hitler tried to negotiate Danzig. But the Poles, confident in their British war guarantee, refused. So, Hitler cut his deal with Stalin, and the two invaded and divided Poland.The cost of the war that came of a refusal to negotiate Danzig was millions of Polish dead, the Katyn massacre, Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, the annihilation of the Home Army in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, and 50 years of Nazi and Stalinist occupation, barbarism and terror.
So you see, if Chamberlain hadn't guaranteed, and the Poles had done the right thing and given in ... Hitler wouldn't have done any of that other stuff! And neither would the Soviets! Aren't those Poles horrible?
Pat's insane.
A statement of fact of the form "A threatened B if B would not comply with A's unlawful demand; B refused to comply with A's demand; A killed B." is not a statement of justifiable homicide, but rather the factual statement on which a prosecutor can seek conviction for premeditated murder. In this case A is Hitler and B is Poland.
Pointing out that had B negotiated with A his murder might not have been a forgone conclusion does not relieve A of indictment for first degree murder. It is merely analyzing B's possible moves in a game theoretic sense.
You see, because of your blind rage every time you see the red flag of Pat Buchanan’s name you have deferred all the finer descriminations of the rational mind, such as a simple difference between the meaning of “explain” and “justify.” The difference between saving a rape target’s life and convicting a rapist of felony assault and murder rest on the fine difference in meaning between those two words.
