Least of all sniveling, shrill, little limp wrists like yourself.
It is our duty to post buffoonery like this once in a while; for sheer levity. These clowns are to be laughed at, not allowed to anger us!
1938: March 13 Anschluss: Austria is annexed to the "Greater German Reich."
1938: September 30 Munich Conference: Britain and France grant Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland to Hitler to avoid war; Hitler gives Chamberlain his personal word on future cooperation (the height of the policy of Appeasement).
1939: January 30 In a speech to the Reichstag, Hitler predicts that a war in Europe would lead to "the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe."
1939: March 15 Hitler's forces invade "rump" Czecho-Slovakia in violation of Hitler's pledges to Chamberlain.
1939: March 31 Formal Anglo-French guarantees are presented to Poland.
1939: August 23 Nazi-Soviet Non-aggression Pact (& secret protocol dividing eastern Europe into spheres of influence) is signed in Moscow.
1939: August 31 Hitler gives final orders for the invasion of Poland.
1939: September 1 German invasion of Poland (In response, Britain & France declare war on Germany and begin the Sitzkrieg in the west; in six weeks, Poland falls--no effective outside aid is rendered.)

Three and a half years after the appeasement began with the Rhineland, England and France finally realizes that they were at war.
Gee, maybe World War II could have been prevented if the Europeans had just worked with Hitler. Maybe the true responsibility for six million Jews killed is really the fault of the Europeans who refused to 'work' with Hitler. If they just tried a little hard to 'understand' Hitler and not attack him World War II could have been prevented.

Sir:
In response to those "warning" and handwringing about invading Iraq and toppling Saddam Hussein:
An act of war and unspeakable outrage was perpetrated on 9/11/2001. President Bush should have gone to Congress on 9/12 and asked for a formal declaration of war. Not on a particular nation but upon Islam.
The very next day, a single nuclear warhead should have detonated above the capital of every terror-supporting state.
Riyadh. Baghdad. Tehran. Islamabad. Et al. We are at war, and we are fighting for the lives of our citizens and nation just as surely as we were in WWII. A "day that will live in infamy?" 9/11 was WORSE than Pearl Harbor, because it targeted innocent civilians.
We have basically done nothing whatever--except conquer Afghanistan--in the year since the attack. A nation without a death wish would have stopped issuing visas to citizens of terror-supporting states. It would have placed troops at the border. It would have revoked the visa of EVERY citizen of a terror-supporting state--and deported ALL illegal aliens. It would have at least stopped pilot training for Islamic nationals.
There are still dozens of active terrorist cells in the U.S. Eventually they will demolish the Sears Tower or release Smallpox in a major U.S. city. Perhaps THEN we will awaken to the fact that we are at war. No mercy. No quarter. No prisoners.
