What would Winston Churchill think of the people who are trying to make deals with the Islamic extremists?

Question

Do you think he would say it smacks of the appeasement deal that Nevil Chamberlin and Charles de Gaulle made with Hitler to prevent WWII

Answer 1

I definitely do think so.

I also believe he would've left President Bush in the dust on getting involved and committing troops. Sir Winston was not one for half-measures, and he wasn't afraid of (though he was anguished by) taking casualties in the name of the greater cause. His decision concerning the Coventry bombing raid proved that. No, I believe President Bush would be playing "catch up" to Sir Winston, were he still here to provide his uncommon wisdom, insight, and singular leadership.

Cheers to him!

Answer 2

well... i'd say winston learned from his mistakes in a way our president does not seem capable of.

"In 1915 Churchill was one of the political and military engineers of the disastrous Gallipoli landings on the Dardanelles during World War I. Churchill took much of the blame for the fiasco, and when Prime Minister Asquith formed an all-party coalition government, the Conservatives demanded Churchill's demotion as the price for entry. For several months Churchill served in the sinecure of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, before resigning from the government feeling his energies were not being used. He rejoined the army, though remaining an MP, and served for several months on the Western Front commanding a batallion. During this period his second in command was a young Archibald Sinclair who would later lead the Liberal Party."

i don't know what he would choose to do now, but i might have more trust in someone who seems more able to command and big enough to change tactics when they are not working. your assessment seems sort of arbitrary... hitler led a nation and could therefore be called to the table. unlike the extremists who you say hide so effectively that israel has to bomb all of lebanon to eradicate them.

Answer 3

You mean Winston Churchill, who was willing to sacrifice thousands of American lives to "attack the soft underbelly" of Europe for the sole purpose of preserving its empire, rather than defeating Hitler by invading France?

Thank you Uncle Osbert. I was just about to mention Gallipoli

Answer 4

Hitler was not forced to disarm before coming to the table.

If the terrorist organizations are forced to disarm and cease-fire first, then that action might merit discussion.

But it's never worth negotiating with someone who opens the discussion with gunfire.

Answer 5

Just remember, Churchill's popularity rating was lower than Bush's. Churchill wouldn't put up with this crap.

Answer 6

Before or after his 11am drink?
