Appeasement wins applause for its ethical posturing and non-belligerency;
and even when the corpses later pile up it rarely earns the disgust it
deserves for getting thousands killed. In contrast, preemption is always
equated with blood lust; and even when it saves thousands, critics sigh
that in retrospect there must have been a better way. -- Victor
Davis Hanson
