Though in fairness, I had no idea who Neville Chamberlain was either.

Something gets used as a cultural meme, a code langauge (Neville Chamberlain = Appeasement) and you risk being asked t'wat the original thing referred, and it may be embarrassing!

This is why I don't have a dog;  I hate to watch anything chase its' own tail!  ::)

Neville Chamberlain is the dud dude who negotiated the peace treaty with Hitler, to give Hitler control of the Sudetenland in return for everlasting peace with Europe.  Of course, the government of Czechoslovakia, in which the Sudetenland was located, was not consulted.  Amongst other details the "peace treaty" called for the evacuation of all non-ethnic-German Sudetens from the Sudentenland within 10 days.

Chamberlain then declared that he had achieved "peace in our time" and bragged to the press how 'Herr Hitler" saw the wisdom in not going to war.  Hiter, of course, saw Chamberlain for the twit that he was, and wiped his butt with that treaty.  The treaty got Hitler what he wanted, and bought him more time to increase his military power.  The next year, Europe was in flames...

It is rather the same thing you see in Israel and the palestinian territories.  Our US diplomats (from both parties) seem to think that if the Israelis and the {alestinians sign a paper that there will be peace.  The reality is that those two warmonging groups will continue to murder each others' people until there is only one man standing.  (I take no side in this issue, other than I say "let them fight it out and the winner takes all").  US "mediation" only costs we taxpayers money, and further entangles us in somebody else's problems.  We should withdraw any financial support for either side in that conflict.  In any event, with or without US mediation, no piece of paper is gonna cure what ails those people over there.

Nor will the Dubya school of political diplomacy: Speak loudly and carry a little stick.
:P

It looks like the Republican Party probably will be aching for awhile.
