It may do well to heed one of the more reliable lessons of history.
When tyrannies are appeased, they tend to grow. That seems to be one of the more reliable lessons of history. Yet, societies continue to appease aggressors in the hope that, maybe this time, appeasement will work.
I’m not talking about appeasing Russia. A great many people are coming to the conclusion, as they should, that Putin should not be appeased. I’m talking instead about the appeasement of Islam that’s been the rule ever since the radical side of Islam reasserted itself about four decades ago.
