	CCC - Appeasement, U.S. + North Korea
		To accuse someone of appeasement is to associate him or her with a historical episode whose meaning is thought to be beyond dispute, and one whose lessons are so plain that only a fool could fail to heed them.
		This too was widely judged to be an act appeasement, the more startling for having entailed the humiliation of a war-time ally by a country that had supposedly learned the same "lessons of the past" as the British themselves.
		Appeasement was itself a policy based on vivid and instructive historical experience, specifically the experience of Europe tumbling into war in the summer of 1914.

	WWS 547 Case Study: “MUNICH” Reassessing the Diplomatic Value of Appeasement, by Macregor Duncan
		Indeed, since Chamberlain’s act of appeasement over six decades ago, leaders such as Harry Truman, Anthony Eden, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and George Bush, have all, at various times, raised the “lesson of Munich” to justify a firm and unequivocal response to aggressive international conduct.
		British appeasement failed not because of Chamberlain’s diplomatic irresolution, but rather, because the British military was insufficiently strong to pressure Germany to conciliate.
		According to this definition, “appeasement” is a more ambitious undertaking than the related concept of “détente,” which seeks to reduce hostility and tension without resolving the underlying differences or causes of conflict.

		It must be because appeasement - treating the likes of Hitler or Arafat, or Stalin or Kim Il-Sung, as benign, rational individuals just like you and me who just want to improve situations - is a very basic lapse of adult functioning.
		Appeasement seems, unfortunately, to be endemic to democracy.
		If democracy is incorrigibly prone to appeasement, a dysfunctional act that results again and again in war and mass bloodshed, then democracy's ultimate value as a way of life has to be questioned.

		For appeasement is in the inference, not in the implication.
		If the terrorists and their sponsoring organizations believe that their act changed Spanish government policy, then the reality of Spanish politics is irrelevant; “appeasement” is a pejorative not merely because the motive is impure but more because the act is counter-productive: it encourages further bad behavior.
		Ironically, the best strategic response to such an act of terror as occurred in Spain may also be the worst tactical response: precisely to allow it to change us, and to respond by suppressing the urge toward disengagement.

	TheReligionofPeace - Lessons on Appeasement from Gaza
		The borders for the tiny strip of land were formed after the 1948 War and for 20 years it was "occupied" by Egypt (as the West Bank was by Jordan).
		Yet, Israel went through the motions of trust and unilateral appeasement in September as instructed by the enlightened Left, handing over Gaza and even relinquishing control of the Egypt-Gaza border despite grave concerns over weapons smuggling.
		Gazans are even poised to celebrate the death of Ariel Sharon, the man responsible for Israel's unilateral act of appeasement.

	The Ayn Rand Institute: Israel's Deadly Appeasement Process Continues
		The Gaza withdrawal is a deadly act of appeasement toward Israel's committed enemies.
		By addressing a longtime grievance of the Palestinians and their supporters--the presence of Israeli security forces and Jewish residents on the Gaza strip--we are told, Israel will abate the hatred that drives so many Palestinians to terrorism.
		In fact, the Gaza withdrawal is a deadly act of appeasement toward Israel's committed enemies: the Palestinian Authority (PA), its rabidly anti-Semitic Palestinian supporters, and other Arab regimes throughout the Middle East.

	The Daily Demarche: Brad Lena responds-
		A massive nuclear force targeting North Korea, a dozen or so aircraft carrier battle groups, pre-positioned nuclear submarines, a ground and air force presence in Japan and S. Korea and a military budget second to none, precludes the tactic as an act of appeasement.
		In fact, it is a provocation using a passive act.
		We’ve implored a tyrant to join the rest of Asia in building a prosperous future, shown compassion for his people, demanded transnational organizations be held accountable and enforce their mandate and put pressure on Asia to effectively act in its own interest.

		At the moment, the chief promoter of such wishful thinking and cat's-paw for the North Koreans' strategems is former Defense Secretary William Perry, who has over the past two days presented to Congress a still-classified report laying out the roadmap for normalized relations with Pyongyang.
		The time has come for a Reaganesque alternative to the path of appeasement of North Korea to which President Clinton and Secretary Perry would commit the United States under both present and future administrations.
		The Clinton-Perry proposal for "peace for our time" on the Korean Peninsula should be rejected by Congress in favor of an approach that would "end the Cold War" there on terms conducive to a genuine and durable peace, i.e., one aimed at rolling back and changing the North Korean regime.

		What is proposed instead is equivalent to the rest of the world forcing the US to accept Taliban control of Canada in the midst of terrorist attacks on American soul, in one final hope that this concession, this carrot, this one last act of appeasement, will be enough.
		It is that if you reward someone for doing something, for acting in a particular way - if you subside terrorism and aggression - then you encourage it and get more of it.
		The fundamental problem with every negotiated settlement with an aggressor is the contradiction of rewarding his wrong-doing on the one hand and asking that he stop it on the other.
