The lessons of the Munich Agreement

Today is the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Munich Agreement under which Great Britain and France allowed Adolf Hitler to annex the Sudetenland in a purported attempt to preserve peace in Europe. Czechoslovakia was excluded from the negotiations at the time and to this day regards the "Appeasement Policy" of London and Paris as a betrayal. The liberal daily Sme considers the debate about whether Prague should have resorted to military action to fend off Hitler's Germany a waste of time: "Hitler would perhaps have lost a couple of months preparing for the war. The European democracies completely underestimated the danger. Munich is a warning that one could pay for failing to react to a serious menace with the end of civilisation. ... The current debates in the Czech Republic will lead nowhere. We would be better off using the 70th anniversary of Munich as PR for the US radar station in the Czech Republic [the radar is to be part of the US missile defence shield]. You have to stand up to an aggressive power before it threatens the whole world."
