Trouble in the Empire – AF&O 3.27.03

Question:

Neville Chamberlain – the "peace in our time" man. So wrought with his own perception of peace, that he would, and did, go to any lengths to maintain it. And, his paper waving scene at the airport, has been replayed many times (Something similar to asking the UN if it’s OK to deal with individuals or states that attack you.) Well, for his vision, and hard work, and diplomacy (although the Czechs might have a hard time swallowing that word), he didn’t prevent zip.  In fact, he got booted out of office, only because the country he led was democractic, and, to top it off, he was so haggard, worn and dis-illusioned about not having the courage, or foresight, to make a stand when a stand was demanded, that he died very soon after.  The cause of death was not heart attack, cancer or anything the medical profession could clearly point to, other than, possibly a broken heart. As the Jews of Auschwitz what the UN was, or should I say wasn’t doing, during WWII. Great humanitarians and peace keepers, like Chamberlain, but lousy peace makers – like Chamberlain.
