Geoffrey Nunberg - on "appeasement" But no politician since then has been able to talk about "appeasement" in an approving way. In retrospect, the appeasement policy may have been disastrously short-sighted, but it wasn't intended to be pusillanimous -- and in fact Chamberlain had few illusions about Hitler's intentions. Or take "appeasement." Whenever it's pronounced, the word conjures up the memory of the British policy of "appeasement" in pre-war Europe. www-csli.stanford.edu /~nunberg/appeasement.html   (917 words)

Behaviour The only successful way to treat Joy is to totally ignore her when she shows these submissive, appeasement gestures, do not look at her, touch her or talk to her at this time, as to do so will continue the behaviour. The dog becomes fearful when it realises that the appeasement signal/s are being ignored and the threat to the dog is still very apparent. So basically it is a matter of preference, a puppy that comes with a clean slate but needs you to teach it how to behaviour from the start, or a rescue dog that may have some small or large problems that you need to overcome. www.takingthelead.co.uk /1/behaviour.htm   (8328 words)

TALK VERITAS :: View topic - BETWEEN WORLD WARS, Pt. II On the other hand, even the firmest believers in appeasement were shocked by Hitler's seizing new territory after having said so vehemently that he had no further ambitions and especially by his taking into the Reich 10,000,000 persons who were not of German nationality. Hitler told Hacha that there were only two choices: Czechoslovakia could ask to be occupied peacefully, or it could be invaded and its people made to suffer. The fact that Hacha had invited German intervention made it hard for the French and the British to do more than protest the violation of the spirit of Munich. veritas.netfreehost.com /veritas-ftopic546.html   (8328 words)

Bush Bargains Badly - Kim Jong-il outwits W. on nukes. By Fred Kaplan Bush called these threats "blackmail" and said that even sitting down to talk about them would constitute "appeasement." The North Koreans went ahead and did what they said they would do. Bush, it must be said, was not entirely responsible for the Agreed Framework's collapse. The remarkable thing is, the deal is practically identical to the accord that President Clinton signed with Pyongyang in 1994—an accord that Bush condemned and scuttled from the moment he took over the White House. slate.msn.com /id/2102963   (8328 words)

TIME Magazine Archive Article -- Ambassador to the Future -- Dec. 30, 1940 Three thousand miles away in the U. S., where there had been much talk of a new Britain run for little men by liberal men, there was some surprise at this choice: a Lordship, a Tory, an old Etonian, a man once associated with Chamberlain and the Cliveden set and that horrid word, appeasement. There were old-fashioned family tie-ups: the only other Foreign Secretary who subsequently became Ambassador to the U. Viscount Grey of Fallodon, was Lord Halifax's third cousin, and the man named to succeed him, Anthony Eden, is also his third cousin.* Lord Halifax certainly represented the old Britain. At that time he went at once to ask the advice of his aged father, the late 2nd Viscount Halifax. time-proxy.yaga.com /time/archive/preview/0,10987,795109,00.html   (661 words)

No Road From Munich To Iraq (washingtonpost.com) For those intent on waging war against Iraq, the word "Munich" is shorthand for "appeasement." It has been brandished against those -- be they European governments, leading congressional Democrats, or cautious Republicans and State Department officials -- who are not fervently committed to a U.S.-led battle to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein. Yet those who talk of Munich -- site of France and Britain's attempt at pacifying Nazi Germany before World War II -- in the context of today do little justice either to the dilemma of those who negotiated with Adolf Hitler then or to those who must weigh the need for military action today. Given the common interpretation of Munich, invoking it is the equivalent of calling someone a coward. www.bsu.edu /web/ksmith/weinberg.htm   (661 words)

BBC News TV AND RADIO Letterman appeases Miss Colombia Colombia's top beauty queen - who threatened to sue US talk show host David Letterman for an on air joke linking her to drugs smuggling - is to appear on the show on Thursday. Letterman apologised for the joke and invited Noceti - who was knocked out of the Miss Universe competition in the first round - to appear on his show as a gesture of appeasement. An official protest from Colombia's consul in New York was lodged and members of the US Colombian community threatened to protest outside the CBS television network. news.bbc.co.uk /1/low/entertainment/tv_and_radio/1335320.stm   (661 words)

The American Street » Blog Archive » DLC’s Tom Vilsack Wimps Out Vilsack is saying, in effect, “Move along folks…nothing to see here …no constitutional crisis or anything.” Wimpy is not strong enough a word to describe such appeasement. If you can’t talk about something that is at the core of the problems in America today then you are unqualified to be President, let alone be a CANDIDATE for President. Iowa governor Tom Vilsack, new head of the DLC, appeared with John King on CNN on Sunday afternoon and asked for Karl Rove to APOLOGIZE and said he expected we could “move on” with other issues. www.reachm.com /amstreet/archives/2005/07/17/dlcs-tom-vilsack-wimps-out   (648 words)

Larrt Pratt -- Lesson from Beslan School Massacre Negotiations are impossible with those who come to kill, not to talk; and appeasement only encourages worse attacks. Otherwise, when a group of Islamist fascists attacks a school in the United States, we will join the Russians in mourning the needless deaths of defenseless schoolyard victims. And the shooting-fish-in-a-barrel scenario in Russia could just as easily happen in the United States because we have the same anti-self defense policy in our schools. www.newswithviews.com /Pratt/larry39.htm   (648 words)

Kanfer Welcome Or the bombers of London, who loathe the West, love death, and cannot wait to strike again--with, of course, the aid of the useful idiots who believe in appeasement, capitulation and surrender to the very worst this young century has to offer. In book form it climbed the top of the bestseller list and stayed there long enough to make Capote an international celebrity, a much-desired talk show guest, and a welcome personage in what passed for high society in 60’s and 70’s New York. With the death of Peter Jennings, the retirement of Tom Brokaw, and the skulking away of Dan Rather, network news passes into a new phase. www.stefankanfer.org /welcome.htm   (11309 words)

Dehai Message Board Besides with Ethiopia gaining points with the US and the problems we are having with the EU we should keep pressure on the court to be fair, unbiased, and free of political appeasement. Talk about “Agamigna”; here Gebru Asrat, Siye Abraha, Legesse (Meles), Sibhat Nega including Radio Mekele are trying very hard to walk, to act and to speak “Asmarino”; only to see that Dawit Mesfin/Abeba Mussie is trying to teach you and I to speak in “Agamigna”. Whilst the susceptibility of an Asmaran to be duped by the paternal gravity of Addis Ababan joy is natural, the perturbed reactions of the dehai Diaspora is as artificial as villa Roma in colonial Combishtato. www.dehai.org /guests/mar02.html   (11309 words)

Maryam Rajavi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rajavi said that she believes that a foreign war was not the correct option yet at the same time she denounced Western appeasement of the mullahs' regime. Please discuss this issue on the talk page, and/or replace this tag with a more specific message. Rajavi began her activities during the anti-shah movement in early 1970s, as one of the leaders of the student movement while studying at the University. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Maryam_Rajavi   (1081 words)

Washington Week . Student Voices PBS The talk, entitled "Czech Republic and United Europe in the Globalized World," materialized as a result of the prime minister's tour of the U.S. The Czech Consulate contacted Stanford last month, and the Center for Russian and East European Studies agreed to host the event. He explained that the Czech Republic has had extensive experience with appeasement policy and "knows that there is no chance to negotiate with terrorists of any sort. He became the chair of the Social Democratic Party in 1993 and in 1998 was appointed prime minister of the government of the Czech Republic by Havel, now the nation's president. www.pbs.org /weta/washingtonweek/voices/200111/1106globalization.html   (597 words)

"How Much Land for Peace?" Those who now subscribe to land for peace, including Prime Minister Barak, whose appeasement policy is providing both land and weapons, say there should be a return to the good old days of 1967 because there is no choice. Before the talk of land for peace they already occupied the West Bank under Jordanian rule and Gaza under Egyptian rule. Somehow, the land that the Arab authorities usurped from the Jews when they were forced to leave "Arab lands" after 1948 is conveniently forgotten. christianactionforisrael.org /isreport/julaug00/howmuch.html   (1607 words)

The Munich Agreement and the US-NATO war against Yugoslavia: The real lessons of appeasement in the 1930s There has been much talk during the last weeks of the failed policy of "appeasement" with Nazi Germany prior to World War Two. The Munich Agreement was the piece of paper "signed by Herr Hitler" waved by Chamberlain when he returned to Britain promising "peace in our time". Historically this term refers to the Munich Agreement drawn up between Britain, France, Italy and Germany on September 29, 1938 which agreed the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany. wsws.org /articles/1999/apr1999/mun-a23.shtml   (998 words)

BigHominid's Hairy Chasms Point taken: when Koreans (or Asians in general) talk about "family values" as a huge subset of "Asian values," it can be offensive to the extent it seems to be implying that those cold, monstrous Westerners routinely eat their own children. South Korea has borne the brunt of NK rancor on many occasions (ask any Koreablogger), and continues to do so-- often willingly, with no tangible return for its patience/tolerance/appeasement/etc. (my editorializing, not Natsios's). Korean children (in Korea, not the US) don't usually have that Grand Teenage Moment where they stand up to their parents and loudly declare, "It's my life!" I've done this, you see, and know firsthand how deeply it wounds a Korean mother's heart. bighominid.blogspot.com /2004_01_18_bighominid_archive.html   (14812 words)

davidwarrenonline.com - ESSAYS ON OUR TIMES Manley's sudden prominence in the media; he does the "tough talk". Jean Chretien, a politician years past his stale date, has all his life practised the "politics of appeasement". Manley has been simply delegated to speak up for the "pro-war" constituency, while the others buy off the other points of view -- using tax money that needs to be impounded for urgent, entirely neglected, tasks. www.davidwarrenonline.com /SunSpec/Nov01/index11.shtml   (1021 words)

THE BATTLE FOR TRUTH Middle East Myths [Free Republic] Since people talk about that which is most dear to them, we should be able to get a good idea of how important Jerusalem is to Jews and Arabs by reading their holy books, the Bible for the Jews and the Koran for the Arab Muslims. From the wisdom of someone who knows, Winston Churchill would caution us that "acts of appeasement today will have to be remedied at far greater cost and remorse tomorrow." A strong, secure Israel is in the national interest of the United States politically, militarily, economically, socially, and spiritually. One of the greatest myths is the myth of Yasser Arafat. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a3b62508258c7.htm   (9343 words)
