Sorry but I ahve a very simplistic view on life  |
How simple can you get? I spent much of yesterday afternoon watching alot of old men remembering their mates of 60 years ago....the ones who did'nt grow old. And why did they not grow old? Because politicians - and the majority of public opinion - said they were not interested in confronting Nazi Germany which had done us no harm, although it had invaded a "country far away of which we know little" (Neville Chamberlain). They ultimately paid the price of ignoring Hitler and hoping he'd go away.
If history teaches us any lesson, it is that history teaches us nowt. If anyone seriously thinks here that the problems of the Middle East (Dictatorship & Islamic fanatisism) can be addressed by ignoring them and appeasing it's players, then you're in cloud cuckoo land. We have no choice but to take 'em on. OK, the Spaniards(No nuclear arms program) have thrown in the towel, but so have the Libyans (Extensive Nuclear and other WMD programs)
This is an interesting thread. Lets here more.
