After Chamberlain's "peace in our time"..the Brits turned to Winston..but it took 6 years and about 80 million lives to defeat the Axis.
We've made progress since then..it'll take the Iranians 6 minutes to wipe out 8 million Jews..
Voters do dumb things. In 1945, after Winston Churchill lead Britain through its greatest ordeal, he was voted out of office an replaced by Clement Atlee who turned the country into the Socialist state as we know it today including the nationalized health care system.
In here in the US, just seven years after 9/11 happened, a man named Barack Hussein Obama is elected POTUS.
Democracy is truly an overrated concept. Our Founding Fathers knew popular democracy was a bad idea and developed safeguards against it. That’s why at the beginning of the Republic, only property owners were permitted to vote in federal elections.
In Israel today, if Bibi (the true leader of the Free World IMHO) is defeated, it will be largely due to a high turnout among Arab voters. If Israel wants to survive as a Jewish state, they may want to rethink their devotion to popular democracy.
Yeah,,..because the Labour party under Atlee promised free health care for the returning soldiers and their families,,,then promptly nationalized coal, electricity, and railways
