So, he just ignored the problem and left it for someone else to deal with. That someone was Churchill, who, whatever his flaws, seems to have been just about the only Conservative willing to spend money on a military buildup. By that time, of course, it was too late to avert World War II, and thus 50 million people paid with their lives for Conservative refusal to raise taxes.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-74231465017256830672015-04-03T10:32:01.678-07:002015-04-03T10:32:01.678-07:00" Nobody wants to got to war with Iran."..."
