See this image? Neville Chamberlain held this piece of paper up after the Munich Conference of September 1938, at which he sold Czechoslovakia down the river in exchange for “peace for our time.” One year later, Hitler invaded Poland…and World War II was on.
Now, look very carefully at Jay’s photo below and burn it…no, sear it, sear it into your memory. See? John Kerry’s quote is good for something!
There are a number of parties which we can directly attribute their actions to enable North Korea’s nuclear test last evening, and none of them are President Bush. We can start here: Madeline Albright, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton (at least he wasn’t getting visits from Monica at the time) NEGOTIATED with this little madman, and he promptly turned his back on said agreement and went right on developing uranium and plutonium enrichment capabilities.
Just like Hitler.
We can also place the Chinese squarely in the picture, since North Korea is their client state. They could have brought Kim to heel, but they chose not to. Now, both Japan and Taiwan, not to mention South Korea, could all have nuclear arsenals of their very own within six months, and this is not something China bargained for. God only knows what the Russians think of this: after all, Vladivostok is also within range of North Korean missiles.
And the Donks? They’re too busy salivating at the salacious details of former Representative Mark Foley’s pecadilloes with young men to give a damn. This is what the world has come to.
