David Zucker, the guy who brought you the “Airplane” movies, has put together this hilarious send-up of James Baker’s work on the Iraq Study Group.

It’s worth noting that while Zucker is dead center on his parallel between Baker and Chamberlain – there is no reasoning with someone whose chief goal is your total annihilation, particularly when that person wields some hefty power – there is a good deal more at stake now than in 1938. Though Hitler was able to do an incredible amount of damage in a relatively short time, his days were numbered right from the start.
Given ever-tightening restrictions on Germany’s access to resources, a couple of vibrant, resourceful, determined and completely righteous adversaries (the U.S. and Great Britain), and the moral bankruptcy of the Third Reich, there could be no other outcome.
This time around however, it’s not us against one (or two or three) overly-aggressive maniac. Ahmadinejad, as evil as he may be, is not the main player because this time, there is no main player. If you wonder if our so-called allies in Europe have the will to stand against radical Islam, look at how they have reacted to the radical Islam already entrenched there. They are so afraid of offending anyone that they are simply going to stand by and watch their own countries and cultures crumble.
Islam, as it is emerging in this new century, is a political movement that it’s adherents believe is the will of God. And if you would like to know where campaign headquarters are in your neighborhood, look no farther than your local mosque.
