Pat Buchanan On Antiwar Radio Part 4 of 5

[Torgo1969]

"Don't make promises you can't keep." How hard is this idea to understand, any Churchill admirers out there? As Pat quotes in his book, even Churchill in his 1948 book confesses "Moreover, how could we protect Poland and make good our gurantee?...Here was a decision taken at the worst possible moment and on the least satisfactory ground, which must surely lead to the slaughter of tens of millions of people."

That really should be the end of the debate, as Churchill echoes Buchanan's thesis.

Pat Buchanan does have a point, We Brits were fucking stupid.

AJP Taylor gave a speech just after Munich criticising Britain for giving into Hitler, and he was hated for it. Than 30 years later, he turned around and said that all of Hitler's pre-war international diplomatic moves were justified.

Taylor stated that it was Britain's tacking between resistance and appeasement that led to the war. Indeed, if a policy of resistance was followed through it may have stopped the outbreak of war. Similarly, a policy of diplomacy, negotiation, and understanding may have achieved the same end. The two policies combined proved ineffective.
