On This Day In History........1939

[ToraToraTora]

Germany invaded Poland, effectively starting WWII. Though it really became inevitable from around 1933 by the inaction of the west. Britain and France were infected with a Liberal pacifist desire for peace but as we all know if you want peace you must prepare for war. Along with religion Pacifism is another primary cause of war.

Canary, either join in sensibly with what is a good discussion or shuffle off somewhere else. We have the Trollsketeers for that cobras, don't swell their numbers any further. I know you are capable of it, just put aside your hatred of me and debate the subject pragmatically.

// but even to the extent that he turned out to be right I think it was still important to understand that it was a minority view //

How strange ... minority views were of no significance back when, and are even referenced now to dismiss stupidity or Ostrich like attitudes that were spawned by a mind set that looked for anything but the truth if it required effort. Now of course, minority views and attitudes have to take precedence over common sense or we are all beastly Nazis.
