Sure Zip!

"Peace in our Time" was the famous quote from Neville Chamberlain, the English Prime Minister before WWII. He made this quote after returning from a meeting with Hitler. Hitler "promised" to stop being aggresive (I believe the talks concerned the Sudetenland). Shortly after this statement, Hitler invaded anyway.

The statement has become synomymous with appeasement.

Upon returning from Munich where British Prime Minster Neville Chamberlin sold out Checkoslavakia to Hitler, Upon returning to Britian, Chamberlin held up a wad of papers and and said that this document meant "Peace in our times". About 18 Months later Hitler invaded Poland and started WW2.

Kerry is the modern day Chamberlin. For all his claims about "staying the course" what Kerry is REALLY advocating is surrender to, and appeasement of, Islamic Terrorirism. Kerry is our Neville Chamberlin
