appeasement, 1938....the point at which most of the nonfascist european countries caved into hitler's invasion of czechoslovakia....
it is an old thing that was recycled by the richard perle squad in the period just after the americans lost their attempt to get unsc approval of bushwar... perle is a rightwing hack who enjoyed high visiblity in the period ---he was able to tweeze about the talking head circuit saying incredibly stupid things that people, for some reason, took seriously--it was perle that stirred up one of the more idiotic phenomena of this already idiotic period--the freedom fries thing--such a moron, perle---that he had any influence over anybody is beyond me....
the logic: the americans do not have a coherent case for invading iraq, therefore france sucks.
anyway, i find it increadibly irritating--could you do me a favor, sir, and change the thread title? if you didnt know about the munich analogy, then maybe you didnt know how annoying someone could find what you wrote---thanks.
