America: the 21st century version of France?

Thomas Sowell of RealClearPolitics.com writes a nice article equating the appeasers in the United States (read: far-Left and Democrats) with the French and Britons of the 1930’s in their vain attempt to appease Adolph Hitler.
Due to the Democrats pandering to the far-Left fringe groups, e.g. MoveOn.org, The Daily Kos, etc, this country is at a crossroads. Thanks to their tireless efforts to emasculate the military, intelligence, and border security, the Left has now made the country more vulnerable to future terrorist attacks.
“Back in the 1930s, the governments of the democratic countries knew what Hitler was doing -- and they knew that they had enough military superiority at that point to stop his military buildup in its tracks. But they did nothing to stop him.”
“Instead, they turned to what is still the magic mantra today – ‘negotiations.’”
When it comes to determining what Iran has in store for its nuclear program, it does not take an act of divine intervention to understand President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s true intentions. In an effort to hasten the return of the supposed 12th Imam, Ahmadinejad would undoubtedly launch a preemptive nuclear attack to ensure Armageddon.
Rather than confront this threat, the United Nations has attempted to approach Iran with pathetic half-measures in a futile to hoodwink the West. These futile attempts are undoubtedly a result of Russia and China’s lucrative business and oil connections with Iran.
No discussion of appeasement is complete without discussing arguably the greatest act of appeasement on record: British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain hopelessly conceding Czechoslovakia to Germany while proclaiming that “peace in our time” was achieved.
“We know now how short that time was. Less than a year later, World War II began in Europe and spread across the planet, killing tens of millions of people and reducing many cities to rubble in Europe and Asia. Looking back after that war, Winston Churchill said, ‘There was never a war in all history easier to prevent by timely action.’ The earlier it was done, the less it would have cost.”
Listen folks, it seems more coincidental that Free Societies now face the same challenge: confronting a bloodthirsty enemy hell-bent on usurping Western Civilization. Rather than confront this threat, the Left chooses to turn and run.
“At one point, Hitler could have been stopped in his tracks ‘without the firing of a single shot,’ Churchill said. That point came in 1936 -- three years before World War II began -- when Hitler sent troops into the Rhineland, in violation of two international treaties.”
Unfortunately, the United States seems to be on an island. With much of the Free World embracing Islam as a “religion of peace,” they are unable to see through the thin veneer of Iran’s lies. Despite brash overtures of “wiping Israel off the map,” or their support for insurgents in Iraq, most of the free world will not step to the plate.
“Nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran and its international terrorist allies will be a worst threat than Hitler ever was. But, before that happens, the big question is: Are we France? Are we morally paralyzed, perhaps fatally?”
Unfortunately, the Left either refuses to admit that that this threat exists, or blatantly denies that the threat is serious.
Yes, how can MAINSTREAM America identify with an ideology that refuses to confront this threat? I cannot believe that most Americans would accept appeasement of militant Islam.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I doubt it…
