    au contraire, I am quite familiar with Chamberlain.

    Do you think he was responsible for the rise of naziism because he took a diplomatic approach?

    being a favourer of peace doesn't mean lacking in knowledge of why there is war.

    To jump to war as the solution is teh net result of small mindedness and not correct mindedness.

    which do you favour?

    P.S Solo, don't be an ass hat, it's our forces that have held down the play strongly in Afghanistan for the most part so, take your statements and shove them up your ass.

    thank you.

    You ain't so good at that there new-fangled readin' are yu?

    It works like this.. if someone says
    "Do you swear to honor your father and f*ck your mother?" then you can reasonably say that anyone who says "YES" is not being especially smart.

    If someone offers you a two part oath where the parts contradict one another.. then a smart person (one who is "passing the IQ test") will say "No thanks" and move on.

    I'm ashamed to admit I failed this test on the first try (I said yes).. but I passed it on my second attempt (no thanks!). I wish all persons who take the test a passing grade on their first attempt, or better luck on their subsequent attempts.

    He was not responsible for the rise of Naziism, however, he was responsible for the spread of Naziism. He sold out his allies to a mass murdering dictator in order to achieve "peace for our time" and failed miserably.

    Why don't you just say what you have to say? Reading requires that the writer clearly and concisely state their point, not beat around the bush with metaphors.

    You did fail a test, alright. That much is true.
