Quotational Therapy: Part 118 -- Churchill, On Wartime Christmas.

Merry Christmas-

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, at the lighting of the U.S. National Christmas Tree, in December of 1941:

"Let the children have their night of fun and laughter. Let gifts of Father Christmas delight their hearts; let us share in the full in their unstinted pleasure before we turn again to the stern tasks in the year that lies before us. Now, by our sacrifice and daring, these same children shall not be robbed of their inheritance or denied the right to live in a free, and decent world."

Sometimes I wonder if the world will ever have any great leaders again. Schools and society should go back to teaching the significance of past events and the influence of great leaders like Churchill had on the outcome. Unfortunately, today's world looks for consensus from third-world thugs and passing a world test of socialist western Europe before we dare act.
To resolve issues that confront us today will require leaders that will not be intimidated by thugs and ignore countries that pander because they do not have the collective will to confront violent behavior.

When you have them by the nuts, their hearts and minds will follow.
