Also, at Munich, Czechoslovakia was advised, after her breakup, to so remodel her relationships so as to not cause offense to her powerful neighbor. She acceeded to every demand of Nazi Germany. Anyone care to tell me exactly what giving up and becoming suppliant to Nazi Germany did for Czechoslovakia?
The above lessons of history are why I find those who talk of "trying to get along" and changing our foreign policy so as to not give offense to Arab nations rather frightening.
