That Was Then and This is Now

THEN


Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler in 1938

"We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analyzing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a program would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators."
-- Neville Chamberlain (March 18, 1869-November 9, 1940)


NOW

Nancy Pelosi and Bashar Assad in 2007

"We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace."

--Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, after meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
