An American BLUNDER in Munich Shield of the Republic.The best thing I've heard in months on our mess.

This is long. All of it is great but if time is short, skip to about minute 43 where he talks about the movie Man for all Seasons and listen to the end. Gave me hope.

It is a wonderful quote from the film: When a man takes an oath he holds himself in his hands like water
and if he ever opens his fingers, he can never hope to find himself again".
Thanks for the post Hamlet.

I've seen the movie but of course don't remember much about it and certainly don't remember that quote. Maybe I don't remember because it wasn't so in my face as it is in this place and time.
