HoustonChronicle.com - Krauthammer: This has gone beyond appeasement: "When confronting an existential enemy -- an enemy that wants to terminate your very existence -- there are only two choices: appeasement or war.
In the 1930s, Europe chose appeasement. Today Spain has done so again. Europe may follow. "
---------
Appeasement did not avoid WWII but made it inevitable. If other nations follow the "lead" of Spain, then World War will again visit us in the night. Obviously, Europe was not going to submit to Hitler in that other war, and neither will the West submit to Islam. But as Hitler gained strength and took courage at the lack of moral force in Chamberlain and others, so Islam will take courage from the weakness of the socialist wimps of Europe and the United States.
