Stupid, stupid, stupid

While commenting on Harry's Place I refound this wonderful example of historical ignorance from Melanie Phillips. I would suggest Churchill would be turning in his grave, but is Melanie Phillips even aware he is dead?

The similarities between these arguments and those mounted in the 1930s, by people who did not grasp the threat posed by Nazi Germany and thought 'jaw-jaw' was better than 'war-war', are uncanny. These are indeed the all too familiar weasel words of appeasement.
