If we had worked with Germany to make the reparations payments less onerous at the time, Hitler wouldn't have had a battle cry for Germans to rally around. But we weren't a "superpower" at that time either. Britain was. One of the obligations of a superpower is to act as a mediator BEFORE things get out of hand.Now back to where you were, you're talking about the Arab nations embracing communism. Did they HAVE another choice? Were WE willing to help them work things out? No. Instead, we fed their leaders who made their lives miserable, and in doing so pushed them into embracing that and radical Islam as well. I know to your mind, trying to make peace is a sign of weakness, but the alternatives can be far worse. |
