Groveling at the Feet of the Guy Who Wants to Kill You
Hitler told the world what he hoped to someday do. All communist “movements,” their leaders, and followers had and have outlined their “plans” for the rest of us. The current head of Iran and the dictator of North Korea have clearly stated their open aims, dreams, and nightmares for others.
Under the consistent and blatantly obvious reality of historical circumstance, a great deal of blame for the death and destruction brought to the world by authoritarian leaders and states can be placed upon the stupid fools who continue to placate, appease, and grovel at the feet of totalitarian ideals. Even more pathetic is the fact that they prostrate themsleves before such ideals because their greater suspicions and chastisements are directed at free and open societies (usually due to a bizarre disdain for open commerce and opposing thought).
Sometimes a position is mistaken or naïve – sometimes it's just stupid.
