The True Appeaser

The credit for the following belongs greatly to my old man.

As Bush spoke in front of the Knesset this week he invoked the preface to WW II. I have thought a lot the past few days about the idiotic comments of perhaps America’s most idiotic president and would like to set the record straight for a man who most likely doesn’t read a lot of history.

When Chamberlain met with Hitler in 1938, Britain was trying desperately not to be plunged into another war; a war they were in no way prepared for nor had the stomach to initiate. WW I was still fresh on their minds and the bad taste the Great War left in their mouths made them less powerful. As the Prime Minister of Britain met with the Chancellor of Germany it was from a position of weakness. The British military (navy excluded) had been downsized in the decades following 1918 and the army they did have was spread all over their empire. By 1938 the Germans had long since defied the Versailles Treaty and were on a war economy. These two powers were going in separate directions. Germany was meeting from a position of strength and Britain was meeting from a position of weakness.

If Obama or McCain sits down with Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Hamas or any other two bit dictator they will not be Chamberlain. The US spends well over $400 billion a year on its military. In 2005 the US military budget was nearly as much as the rest of the world COMBINED and eight times larger than China’s defense spending. This just shows you how much of an idiot Bush is for making that same old sad WW II analogy of appeasement. Bush Saudi To make matters worse, this same President proceeds to Saudi Arabia, a country who requires our military technology to keep their people in line, and begs them if they could do us a favor and up the oil production. Our allies in the Gulf merely brush the President of the free world aside like a bum on the curb with a tin cup. Most conservatives would tell the bum to go get a job. Well I’m telling the bum to get working on an energy policy where we don’t have to be beholden to any dictator. Who is the true appeaser?
