Appeasement then and now

Not a fan of the LA Times. (Irony's our theme today...) Ironic that this kind of op-ed piece would appear in the LAT. Max Boot writes about Then and now, evil always wants more. Money quote:

Orwell's words, written in October 1941, ring true today: 'The notion that you can somehow defeat violence by submitting to it is simply a flight from fact. As I have said, it is only possible to people who have money and guns between themselves and reality.'

Hat tip to the blogfather, Glenn Reynolds, for the link.
