"We regard the agreements signed last night... as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again." (London, England, September 30, 1938)

In the early morning hours of September 30, 1938, British and French prime ministers Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier signed the Munich Pact with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, thus giving Czechoslovakia away to German conquest. Daladier abhorred this appeasement of the Nazis, but Chamberlain was elated, and even stayed behind in Munich to sign a single-page document with Hitler that he believed assured the future of Anglo-German peace. Later that day, Chamberlain flew home to Britain, where he read the document before a jubilant crowd in London and praised the Munich Pact for bringing "peace in our time." The next day, Germany annexed Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland, and by March of 1939, nearly all of Czechoslovakia was under German control. On September 1, 1939, fifty-three German army divisions invaded Poland despite British and French threats to intervene on the nation's behalf. Two days later, Chamberlain solemnly called for a British declaration of war against Germany, and the European phase of World War II began.

The Audio of the Speech is available.

Note that Senator Torricelli's Speech was on the Anniversary of the Munich Pact -- the delivering into the hands of evil by a few the many -- just as a few will try to decide who will run for Senate in New Jersey and help control the Senate.

A good friend of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was Ambassador Joseph Kennedy, Sr, who agreed with the thoughts of the leaders of Britian and France at the appeasment of Hitler.

It is interesting to hear the voices of the Democrats today and reflect on what was said by similar people before World War II.

History is repeating itself (in my opinion). Is Saddam Hussein another Hitler?

Should he be stopped now before another country is invaded?

Is the talk of appeasement of Hitler in 1938 the same as the talk today by the Democrats and Liberals?

Can we get this message onto Talk Radio Today?

More telling was Hitler's response, "our enemies are little worms, I saw them at Munich."

[topher]

Ping. I think it is really important for people to link Torricelli, Chamberlain, Iraq and Hitler.

Freedom does matter, and it seems the Democrats want to elimante "We the People" from the selection of who we elect to represent us.

[topher]

Maybe Saddam Hussein is saying the same thing
(or similar) about the US
Delegation in Bagdad as we speak.

Good point. I think the Democrats and their party have been going down this road a very long time, and now it is just becoming more obvious.

[watchin]

Hitler was right, at least about the men he saw in Munich. They WERE little worms.

[watchin]

Saddam would be right, as well. He may also repeat the mistake of assuming that those little worms represent the rest of us. Hitler did that, and look where it got him.

I listened to Neville Chamberlain's Speech again today. History repeats itself. Amazing.
