Some sage advice for President Obama:
..I thought it was a chance to study the reign of King Ethelred the Unready. The House will remember that that was a period of great misfortune, in which, from the strong position which we had gained under the descendants of King Alfred, we fell very swiftly into chaos. It was the period of Danegeld and of foreign pressure. I must say that the rugged words of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, written a thousand years ago, seem to me apposite… Here is what the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle said…
“All these calamities fell upon us because of evil counsel, because tribute was not offered to them at the right time nor yet were they resisted; but when they had done the most evil, then was peace made with them.”
That is the wisdom of the past, for all wisdom is not new wisdom. – Winston Churchill
Fight or quit – but don’t dawdle around and hope for the best. Do not place our future in the hands of unstable tyrants. State our position, and then act upon it immediately.
