The Chamberlain/Appeasement Cliche

"History teaches us .." goes one cliche used by macho arguers right before they crowbar in their latest hawkish pet theory. Another national security cliche is the Lord Chamberlain-appeasement argument. The deflated Bush, a failed President, inserted himself clumsily into the Presidential race -- the only game in town -- for some much-needed political oxygen.

Could we have a moratorium on using the Chamberlain argument for military hawkishness?

And, while we are at it could we please stop using "thrown under the bus"? Thank you!
