Or is that “prey for peace?”
The author seems to think that his comparison is a compliment to Obama.
How absurd.
Well Liberals worship Wilson almost as much as their patron saint, FDR.
It’s a fantastic article.
“It’s a fantastic article”
Not in the way the author intended, though
Don’t forget Hilary in march 2011. Assad was a reformer. This makes her very presidential.
I would love to see what this asshat wrote about the run up to the Iraq war..
Off topic, but Tuchman wrote an excellent book on 14th century France. Her research and writing was superb. As result, I am going to get this book from library..
While Chamberlain is well known for his Munich appeasement, what is lesser known was his staunch anti-nazism after he finally woke up and realized he’d been played for a fool. He really worked hard to undo his silly “waving of the treaty” moment..
It's hard to imagine a more delusional approach to this thing than this author's. Bush removing a dictator with an established track record of gassing his people was "imperialism", 0bama trying to remove a dictator suspected of gassing his people is "justice". Wilson was an internationalist idealist whose approach was for collective security; 0bama had his representative walk out of the UN and has precisely one ally in the thing: France, and now intends to "keep us out of the war" by waging one.
This is nothing more serious than a child chanting "Bush evil, 0bama good." Woodrow Wilson does nothing for this ridiculous argument but muddy the waters, precisely as intended.
Yep, that was it. Her writing on that piece put the WWI book at the top of my library list..
I would bet my last doughnut hole that a message was passed to the Brits from the Russians:
Lay off if you don't want your gas shut off next winter. Citizens tend to change their minds about their favorite politicians when they are freezing.
No one is looking at the energy choke hold that the Russians have on all of Europe. This is something worth exploring, methinks.
>> “to spread the right of self-determination abroad”
Marxists are not about self-determination, asshat.
Find later
"Сделайте мой день..."
Heh heh, my College Russian courses served me well.
As World War I raged in Europe and civil war erupted in Mexico, Woodrow Wilson won re-election in 1916 on the slogan "He Kept Us Out Of War." But Wilson's slogan proved ephemeral, and his strategy of "armed neutrality" finally gave way in the face of German aggression.The author is clearly just a partisan shill -- for example, Wilson's 1916 campaign slogan was a humbug, as any honest thinker would admit.
How a White Hispanic got to be Foreign Secretary of the German Empire in 1917, I don't know.
On MSNBC Steve Kornacki this morning his roundtable was on Syria for most of show and one lib guest there had a fit, she said
“I want my money back . I didn't support him so he would bomb other countries. I wanted the opposite of Bush.”
Pretty entertaining.
