These words, penned long ago by Winston Churchill to denounce those whose folly led to World War II, could well be used to describe the reprobates currently inhabiting the White House.
History is filled with accounts of foolish leaders and their malfeasances.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. In Churchill's day Chamberlain bowed down to lick Hitler's heels. Now we have Clinton, who plays pantyfingers with Chinese communists while they arm for war. In this century there has been a pattern. When we have two-term Democratic administrations there is a focus on domestic issues accompanied by a withering of our military, followed by war.
