The ghost of Neville Chamberlain is haunting Europe, preaching pacifism and appeasement and promising "peace in our time" in the war against terrorism.

This is the frightening apparition that rose out of the wreckage, blood and body parts in the Madrid train station bombing on the eve of Spain's national elections

Europeons love misery, and thus the best way to achieve this is by forgetting history, so they can repeat it.
I'm just wondering how many millions of dead is enough? I guess Stalin was right when he said one death was a tragedy but a million a mere statistic.

When Zapatero becomes Prime Minister, he will wear the mantle of leading a government brought to power by terrorists and needing to form a coalition government with ETA and Catalan parties intent on independence for their people. Will Spain survive Zapatero?

Actually we owe Neville Chamberlain. If it weren't for him, the failure that is appeasement would have remained abstract. You would always have had to spend a long time debating the folly of it, where now you only have to use his name. If he didn't give us all concrete proof of how appeasement never will work, it could hit us in the future against an enemy who would be harder to beat than the Germans. Can you imagine arguing with anybody against appeasement without him?

I believe Chamberlain is irrelevant. Those who are so pathologically leftist are predisposed to ignore or disbelieve the lesson of Chamberlain. This great lesson of history is right there in front of the eyes, but so many refuse to see. They are so attached to their religion of socialism that they so hate those on the other side that they are willing to be killed en masse just so they don't have to concede their failed ideology.

Spain is the first western government to cave to terrorism. Not a good precedent.

Now AQ has some added power and world standing. They're ready to roll into another country, and I hope it's France.

thanks for post...I agree, backing down will not save our butts and as for the "El Alianza Magnífica", what a joke, France, Germany, Spain and others all kneeling waiting for the Almighty UN to come out from under the bed and issue worthless motions and actually enforce them........its more likely that hell will freeze over.

Better to take a stand with this, much better propostion than trying to appease a movement such as Islam in the fool hardy notion that they will be your friends. They hate WESTERNERS!!, THEY HATE NATIONS WHOSE BASIS IS IN CHRISTIANITY!! They will not rest until they assimilate and anihilate (sp?)

the muslims must be rubbing theyre hands as they lead countries like france, Germany, Spain, etc to the slaughter, invading and taking over.......

ping to michael

God bless in Jesus name.

"The history of appeasement shows it has always failed."

In the end yes.

However to those who think in very limited time frames,for instance,the next election,appeasement works just fine.

"El Alianza Magnífica"

rather..."El grande densemente como cabeza" (I think)

God bless

Europeans have lost the vitality needed to be free. I fear that Americans are also loosing the vitality, pride in self reliance and determination that created this great experiment of ours.

"They will not rest until they assimilate"...

This struck a chord with me. The parallel with RI (Radical Islam) and a Race named the Borg (Star Trek NG) are quite prevalent. If you stuck a 35mm reflex lens over kerry's left eye, he could join right in with their assimilation into the "one".

It has become quite clear to me that kerry and the dims have joined the "dark side". I truly believe that evil resides in the heart of the dim-o-Rat party today. kerry may very well be the anti-Christ we all thought that the slickmeister was. I am serious...kerry is EVIL!

God Bless all of my brother and sister patriots!

When I saw the headline, the first thing that came to my mind was a picture of John Kerry.

Unlike the Borg, the Isalmofascists do not have the technology to plug us in. The worst they can do is kill us.

Aye. Fight and you may die. Run and you'll live, at least a while. And, dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance -- just one chance -- to come back here and tell our enemies, that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!

The business at hand is to kill them first.

"Will Spain survive Zapatero?"

Not as Spain, anyway. It will more closely resemble the Balkans, and with it, all the turmoil and animosities that region suffered (and continues to suffer).

People need to realize that socialism IS a religion: It just replaced God with the State. That's why I always laugh when the leftists in America cry for separation of church and state, when, in their religion, the state IS their church!

If France is hit it will be interesting to watch the French rush to surrender quicker than the Spanish did. The Spanish surrendered in thee days. I predict the French will surrender in three hours.

The question is: Will you fight to defeat the Islamic assault against the Christian West? Much of the "Christian" West is ready to surrender to the Islamic onslaught. I will not surrender to it. I was just wondering if you would, and I also wonder how many of us will truly fight, and how many of us would be willing to pay the ultimate price. I pray it is many, because we will need the numbers.
