Arthur Neville Chamberlain was 68 years old when he became Prime Minister of Britain in 1937. Like many who had lived through the horrific years of the Great War, Chamberlain would do anything to avoid going to war again which explains why he bent over backwards for Hitler and took it up the wazoo. In his defense, I should mention that I am now beginning to think that conciliatory cowardice is a mental illness that afflicts old men who have lived through a previous war.

This may explain why John Murtha is a cowardly defeatist. Anyone who wants us out of Iraq precisely because he thinks that negotiation and appeasement will work better against our Muslim enemies than a whack over the head has to be mentally ill.

What is it about these old farts that turns them into drooling, sniveling, servile knee-bucklers?
