Does this quote sound familiar?

"We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a programme would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators."

It's not from a current day pundit. It's from our good buddy Neville Chamberlain shortly after he sold out the Sudetenland (and thereby Czechoslovakia) to Hitler in 1938. The parallels are frightening, aren't they? Let's hope we learn from this little piece of history.
