Appeasers - Wednesday, October 09, 2002 9:32 AM The argument of the appeasement crowd in the Democratic Party that we should negotiate new inspections and disarmament agreements with Saddam Hussein is so laughable that one wonders how anyone could think it, let alone make it. This is the same crowd that opposed military action against Iraq in 1990 and argued that sanctions would have caused Saddam to withdraw his armies and relinquish his conquest of Kuwait. Neither the success of the four-day-war in the Gulf, which ended Saddam’s aggression, nor the 11-year failure of the postwar sanctions, sporadic bombings and futile UN resolutions (all designed to get Saddam to adhere to the agreements he made to end the war) seem to have taught the appeasers anything. But then appeasement is a disposition not a reading of the facts.

I lived through the Carter era as an adult. I dont think he was most of the things you accuse him of. He was just IMHO a nice NAIVE man who THOUGHT he was doing the right thing but he had little experience and poor advisors. Personally, I did quite well under him as I had the resources to SCOOP UP those high paying CD's and the assets that did good under the resultant caused inflation. He was not stupid, its just that his intelligence was in a different area (such as Physics). Sadly, he is STILL NAIVE and a sort of bumbler much like the impression I have of the people who award these prizes. I agree TOTALLY with your Reagan comments. IMHO he did more to promote REAL PEACE where it counts (superpower peace) then anyone ever did or ever will do. jdn
