(Not directed at anyone in particular.) Hitler was initally successful because the world feared war, and was willing to give anything (even the nation of Czecheslovakia) to avoid another. It's an example of peace talks at their finest. To avoid the horrors of a crazy dictator conquering all of Europe, Europe's brilliant idea was to give it to him willingly, so that he wouldn't conquer anywhere else. Killing civilians in death camps is one thing, but killing soldiers in battle was apparently too much for politicians to deal with. Is that what should be done with terrorists? Should we, to avoid making them angry, simply give them everything they want? Every war can be avoided. It's as easy as surrendering prior to every argument. Imagine an entire nation of people wearing white flags on their backs to avoid confrontation with aggressors - it's not a nice thought.
