The hinge of fate

National Review Online has posted John O’Sullivan’s fascinating column on the ongoing duel between the statesmanship of Winston Churchill and the statesmanship of Edourad Daladier as represented by their respective inheritors. O’Sullivan makes a compelling case that Chirac’s statesmanship is properly Gaullist, though I have my doubts, and makes an equally compelling case “that Blair is playing a strong hand very nervously.” The column is “Blair vs. Chirac.”
