The New Munich!

I have been away from blogging for some time but this must be said.
"Indiscriminate, inconceivable horror," an "unspeakable crime," a "crime against conscience," a "crime against humanity."  John Kerry speaking of "Adolph" Assad and his use of gas on his people.  Now we see Obama's Munich.
We are reminded of Churchill's October 5, 1938 speech responding to the Munich agreement.  He said that the people "should know the truth.  They should know that there has been gross neglect and deficiency in our defenses;  they should know that we have sustained a defeat without a war, the consequences of which will travel far with us along our road."  He concluded with this:
And do not suppose that this is the end.  This is only the beginning of the reckoning.  This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by  a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.
