Just more ridiculous, funny, cute nonsense from diamond. He occassionally spams here like this and unfortunately even if you put him on the ignore list, his wisdom beckons us all and we start reading his works, salivating occassionally and basking in his infinte wisdom..
It's a classy kind of trash sort of, the man is artful in an abstract kinda way and somedays he's just plain adorable.

At the same time as declaring "Peace In Our Time", Chamberlain was also agreeing to massive amounts of spending on the armed forces. Yes, if we hadn't appeased Hitler early on (stepped in over remilitarising the Rhineland for example) then WW2 may never have happened. However, there did come a point when Germany (which had been remilitarising for years) was far, far, far too militarily powerful for the UK (which had been demilitarising for years) to even contemplate fighting. "Peace in Our Time" was merely a play for time, if war had broke out then then we'd have lost, no question.

As for the whole "USA won the war" thing. I find that attitude rather insulting for pretty obvious reasons... I appreciate that the USA were a major, major factor in victory but there were many, many others. The Battle of Britain was one no-one's mentioned yet but I agree with Financeguy that the invasion of the Soviet Union was probably the most important. The sheer resilience of the people there- Siege of Leningrad, anyone?
