Neville Chamberlain, prime minister of Britain, signed the Munich Pact with Germany in 1938 and announced that he had secured "peace in our time." In the next year Britain delcared war on Germany in Chamberlain's words about Hitler: "this man will never give up his practice of using force to gain his will. He can only be stopped by force" Britain, Russia, Poland and other European countries suffered greatly because of this earlier in-action. The French, like the cuck-old husband who doesn't see the man in bed with his wife, fare somewhat better with its goverment.
At that time the U.S to its shame, decided not to join in the fight. It took the attack on Pearl Harbor for us to stand up and take our place with the other nations fighting the madman. Before it was over, many soldiers were killed and millions of innocent civilians were slaughtered by the Nazis.
Today we have a French "Chamberlain" in the person of prime min Jean Pierre Rafarin. In his own words, though "what is at stake is the peoples confidence in the future of international law." In any country when someone breaks the law, they are arrested. Where is the confidence in the U.N. if it does not enforce its law because it is afraid of teh consequences? Must we wait until millions more die??
