My point is that Hitler should have been stopped when he remilitarized the Rhineland, or at some other crucial point before he was prepared for major hostilities. It is a shame that Britain and France were not ready, and we were isolationist. I stated the point clearly: it would have been better had he been stopped early, but then whomever stopped him could have been accused of not exhausting diplomacy; and though we would have prevented a horrific war, how could we have proved it, since it didn't happen? That is a difficulty in debating foreign policy, the alternative(s) of an action do not come to pass to show that the choice was correct.
