Socialist Progressives

rightfully be--and that may explain my view that a very harsh treaty was not an intended consequence at all. And, it is not as though the parties who had come up with the extreme "negotiating" position were powerless to ameliorate it on their own to something more humane, in the absence of anyone negotiating on behalf of Germany.

I learned something from a very old Western that On Demand has been showing on and off for about a year now: sometimes, people hit exactly what they aimed at, even if, at first glance, it appears they missed their intended target. (Melody Jones, with Gary Cooper in the title role.) Obviously, I could very well be wrong, but I think that is what happened with the terror of a treaty.

Have a great Thanksgiving Day.
