Bill Whittle explains,
Found it via Larwyn at Gerard’s who asks,
Bill Whittle talks about how policies of appeasement encouraged our enemies in the years leading up to World War II. Are modern policies of appeasement encouraging Islamic extremists? Will we pay the price for Obama’s cowardice?
While we’re enjoying this lovely weekend afternoon, Richard Fernandez ponders The Fatal Summer.
Over in Iran,
Iran Opens Its First Nuclear Power Plant – for “peaceful purposes”, of course.

While on the subject of appeasement, Jennifer Rubin looks at Obama Pressuring Israel (Still) Not to Hit Iran
This raises several issues. First, why is this appearing on the front page of the Times? Second, do we imagine that the Israelis were “persuaded”? And finally, is everyone now in agreement that it is one year before the mullahs go nuclear, rather than one to three years, as some in the administration have declared?
…
The real question remains, however, what the administration intends to do when it becomes apparent that sanctions have failed and the mullahs are on the verge of success in their dream of attaining status as a nuclear power. Will the administration think of new excuses for inactivity? What should concern the American people is that the administration uses the Gray Lady to send a message of restraint to our ally rather than as a platform to put forth a message to Iran that we will use force before the year is up. The dog that didn’t bark is also sometimes news.
Don’t count on it.
