Neville Chamberlain: Douche or bag?

Post by Grand Fromage »

We seem to have hit all the other debate topics, so let's dig deep. I mean, seriously. Peace in our time? What a loser. You want a real man, you go a little more recent.

Here is what Churchill said about the Chamberlain upon Chamberlain's death..
"...Whatever else history may or may not say about these terrible, tremendous years, we can be sure that Neville Chamberlain acted with perfect sincerity according to his lights and strove to the utmost of his capacity and authority, which were powerful, to save the world from the awful, devastating struggle in which we are now engaged. This alone will stand him in good stead as far as what is called the verdict of history is concerned."
... there were certain qualities always admired in these Islands which he possessed in an altogether exceptional degree. He had a physical and moral toughness of fibre which enabled him all through his varied career to endure misfortune and disappointment without being unduly discouraged or wearied. He had a precision of mind and an aptitude for business which raised him far above the ordinary levels of our generation. He had a firmness of spirit which was not often elated by success, seldom downcast by failure, and never swayed by panic. when, contrary to all his hopes, beliefs and exertions, the war came upon him, and when, as he himself said, all that he had worked for was shattered, there was no man more resolved to pursue the unsought quarrel to the death. The same qualities which made him one of the last to enter the war, made him one of the last who would quit it before the full victory of a righteous cause was won...
"He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf, a horse's health, a boy's love, or a whore's oath." --From King Lear (III, vi, 19-21)
