Isolationists: the latest breed of NEOs ~ Were the Barbary Pirates fairy tale characters?
“There’s no argument over the choice between peace and war. But there’s only one guaranteed way you can have peace; and you can have it in the next second: surrender. Admittedly there’s a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson that history tells us [proves] that the greater risk lies in appeasement. And this is the specter our well-meaning Liberal friends refuse to face: that their policy of accommodation is appeasement; and it gives no choice between peace and war. [Would you] rather live on your knees than die on your feet?”- Monday, February 21, 2011
