What happened to us?

[Sylviekat]

Unfortunately sometimes well the bully needs to be put in his or her place. Appeasement has a poor track record of resulting in long lasting arrangements that are stable over a period of time. Imagine how the world would have been different if France had used armed intervention to stop Hitler when he moved into Alsace in 1936, rather than back down. It seems we are well on our way to seeing that cycle repeat with the new crisis and threat.
