The only thing wrong about Munich was Chamberlain’s retreat from it and subsequent cowardice in the face of warmongering wack jobs like Churchill, Eden, Duff, etc.
See A.J.P. Taylor’s The Origins Of The Second World War.

Germany did not start either world war solo, there was divided responsibility among the UK,
France and Russia in WW One, see Sidney Fay and Harry Elmer Barnes among many others,
while the UK, France and Soviet Russia also shared responsibility with Germany in this second war too.
The disastrous US intervention in WW One changed a stalemate into a disastrous total victory which brought the Bolsheviks, Mussolini and Hitler to power and the Versailles Treaty led to World War Two.
Germany only beat Britain to the punch in invading Belgium, you probably bought the lying UK originated black propaganda too.
No one claims that Germany and Japan were innocent, a red herring on your part.
Though Roosevelt obviously did bait the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor.
Too many books on this.
Try to educate yourself before rushing into print.

Your last sentence is very true and I am in your intellectual debt for making it. Many thanks.

Shlomo Sand was absolutely correct in stating that modern Ashkenazim Jews like myself are not descended from the ancient Hebrews and the main folks opposed to it are Ashkenazis and old fashioned Nazis.
As a historian Sand was well able to deal with genetic issues and gave compelling reasons for his revisionist views here.
Unz just recycles the New Republic, Establishment Jewry line.
I advise people to read the book. Many Jews are simply unable to deal with it because it doesn’t fit their Jewish Supremacism.

Cockburn was a totally contemptible Communist apologist for the Soviets, Castroites, Maoists, ad nauseum. He downplayed the over 200 million murders by the Communists in the 20th century, half alone under Mao, at least 60 million by the Soviets, 3 million or half of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge Maoists, and the list goes on. He was an ally of the Ayatollah of Anti-Americanism, Chomsky, in this regard. I wouldn’t trust him on anything and I’m glad he’s long dead.

This is a great piece, rarely is so much real wisdom contained in an op-ed. Trump is the only way to go. The right lunatics who oppose him ranging from the neocons to the AynRandroids to the very few surviving Boofuckleyites are showing their usual total irrelevance to the political scene. And who can remember anything Buckley ever wrote ?
Hillary as Prez would mean the end of the Second Amendment and that’s just for starters.
As a secular Jew my only complaint with Trump is his pro-Israel Uber alles stance but he’s the only one running who can possibly change it. The rest are hopeless.

I am shocked at several of the morons who post here, I can only conclude that they are Communist agents to sent further demoralize the Right or less charitably, hopelessly retarded.

By the way unlike many of you stinking cowards I always use my real name and email address.

The vast majority of prisoners are in for drug related offenses which should never have been a crime to begin with. That stupid, mindless, one size fits all Three Strikes has bankrupted California. The 60s crime increase was not related to any large prison releases but to the dominant culture and the Miranda ruling.

Great post ! As a secular Jew I totally agree with you. Thanks.

Who cares if this creep suffers ? A neocon liar and warmonger.
What’s wrong with you, Paul ?

Andy, the change in Israel to the far right has been much for the worse. Socialism is quite rational compared to any form of religious orthodoxy, be it Judaism, Christianity or Islam.
As an Irish-American Jew who has lived in Israel I can tell the racism and fascism are quite thick in the air there.
The Arabs, Muslim or Christian, do not hate America qua America but only FedGov for its support of Israel to the tune of a quarter trillion and Arab Reaction.
It is the US’s business when we subsidize a ‘Jewish’ state where 25% are non-Jewish. Imagine a Christian State here since only 1.58% of us are Jewish ?
Pam Geller is an Ayn Rand Objectivist Atheist, a position I share, who has absolutely no use for that ghastly genocidal, pornographic collection of Arab fairy tales known as The Unholy Bible, particularly the Old Testament. I share her views there but do not share her manic anti-Arab racism which has been promoted by the Ayn Rand Institute, David Horowitz, the War Street Journal, Leonard Peikoff, Robert Spencer, Jennifer Rubin and numerous other racist haters of the Far Right including most of the GOP Presidential candidates.
Andy, read The Invention Of The Jewish People by Israeli Professor
Shlomo Sand.
Bill Pearlman, Phil has had many well thought out, heavily documented and reasoned columns on Israel over the years.
AIPAC brags they control 400 House Members and 95 Senators.
Why not try to refute this ? Because you can’t.
