A Tale of Two Appeasers

Neville Chamberlain, 10 Dowing Street, September 30, 1938:

We, the German Fuhrer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for Europe....

We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe.

My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is "peace for our time." Go home and get a nice quiet sleep -- "Peace for Our Time," 1938

John Kerry, Good Morning America, September 29, 2004:
The test of the presidency was whether or not you should have gone to war to get rid of him. I think, had the inspectors continued, had we done other things -- there were plenty of ways to keep the pressure on Saddam Hussein.
