The problem is that this time it would have to be almost entirely out of the goodness of their hearts.- Last time the unstated war aim of destroying the European nation's influence in the ret of the world was a great bonus for them as it created a US hegemony that still exists today - Though teh State department are begging to feel that might have been along term strategic error.<BR/><BR/>Mike, fair point, but Adenauer was the exception that proved the rule.

Our nation dates from c.900AD and Britons go back even further - 330-320BC.<BR/><BR/>As for the Hegelian-Marxist dialect, yes, probably because it has a provenance, but do you think we can stand alone this time? Do you think the USA will ride to the rescue at the eleventh hour?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-70817403632294035302008-04-19T00:10:00.000+02:002008-04-19T00:10:00.000+02:00"To say that nobody emerges with honour was pander..."To say that nobody emerges with honour was pandering to an audience and self-abasement, we should have nothing to do with it."<BR/><BR/>But you have to understand what "nobody" means in this context. It's real meaning is "anybody" in the sense of "anybody worthy of recognition". This automatically excludes Margaret Thatcher, President Reagan and Pope JPII.<BR/><BR/>The "nobody" to which Beazley refers are the assorted leaders of europe who would have handed the western part of the continent over to the Soviets faster than anyone could say Third Shock Army. They'd have then bleated for Britain, the Commonwealth and the US to come and save them again.The Remittance Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104149259707414863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-39787795129500439462008-04-11T12:20:00.000+02:002008-04-11T12:20:00.000+02:00Elaib,hate to disagree with you, but Yalta was as ...Elaib,<BR/><BR/>hate to disagree with you, but Yalta was as much an act of appeasment as Munich.<BR/><BR/>Downhill PVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-82269868798859247462008-04-04T12:35:00.000+02:002008-04-04T12:35:00.000+02:00Agree with your main point but have to say that yo...Agree with your main point but have to say that you are wrong about Germany.<BR/><BR/>West Germany's post-war record in standing up against communism is one that they can be proud of. The easy - and populist - thing for a West German government to have done at that time would have been to have pursued an understanding with the Warsaw Bloc that saw a reunited Germany outside of NATO but formally neutral.<BR/><BR/>The fact that successive West German governments - both Christian Democrat and Social Democrat led - rejected this option is hugely to their credit.<BR/><BR/>Konrad Adenauer's rejection of the Stalin Note in 1952 stands as one of the most significant points in the Cold War.Mike Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016813232626327117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-90584831631427625242008-04-03T15:21:00.000+02:002008-04-03T15:21:00.000+02:00I have been told this nonsense by mainly Polish pe...I have been told this nonsense by mainly Polish people who think Chuchill should have stood up to Stalin.
