Quote of the Month

Comments "daninardmore" at The Monarchist:

If the idiot Wilson hadn't gotten America into WW I, the Allies and the Central Powers would have had to reach a negotiated settlement, with monarchy surviving all around, rather than just the British one in its present attenuated form (not taking into account the Scandinavian monarchies and the tiny ones round about Europe, which don't count). There would have been no Soviet Union, no Nazi Germany, and above all blessings, no WW II. As it was, WW I was the suicide of the West, with all subsequent history being an extended death rattle.
The award of Quote of the Month is hereby established.

It is indeed a good quote. It's amazing how the unfolding of so much history can be attributed to the actions of one man.

Indeed, "Lord Beaverbrook"! Thank you!

There is so much destruction that can be traced to this man.

One can say that much of it could have come without him. Yet we do not acquit a murderer on the grounds of a relatively high probability that someone else would have committed the murder anyway.

Wilson is the paramount "American triumphalist."

We have paied the price for his naivete.
