"We, the German Führer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had 
a 
further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-
German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for 
Europe. 

"We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval 
Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with 
one 
another again. 

"We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to 
deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are 
determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, 
and thus 
to contribute to assure the peace of Europe." 

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, in a statement about the 1938 
Munich 
Accord, which he read in front of #10 Downing Street.  Apparently, he thought 
he had 
assured his country of a peaceful relationship with the Third Reich.  Then he 
said:

"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister 
has 
returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our 
time... 

"Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

I'm not slamming the Germans, this is all recorded history.

Saddam Hussein is making biological weapons in violation of the UN resolution.  
He 
is supporting terrorists who have directly attacked our nation.  His people 
live in fear, 
misery and hunger while he lives in palaces.  We are going to stop him.  As 
President Bush said, it is time to choose.  We have been attacked, and we are 
at 
war.  If you are not with us, we will assume you are against us.

Can we sue for peace?  Sure.  Can we trust any accord he makes?  Saddam 
himself, by his actions has answered that.  Those who refuse to learn from 
history 
are condemned to repeat it.

De Opresso Liber!

I'm sorry too, but I had to respond.
