In fact, I wrote a short piece of our local paper on the differences between Obama and Chamberlain. Jonathan, I quite agree.

It seems to me that, while the provenance question is fascinating, Kaiser rather glosses over a more problematical issue, namely the casual equation of diplomacy with "appeasement", however one might define that term. As you'll see from a couple of my other posts, I've been reading another Baker recently; <i>Human Smoke</i> raises any number of troubling "what if" questions about the period in question. I love Wikipedia; thanks for your work on it. Thanks, Mark.

I did some research into this quotation just after the Knesset speech and posted my findings on wikipedia. There is a source for the quotation, but it is not that reliable. Have a look at the page, when you have a chance. Cheers, Mark Baker Jonathan, Interesting thoughts on Borah.
