SOMETIMES hard decisions are necessary in the face of evil. A cancer may have to be cut out if all other treatments fail.

In the mid-Thirties, the Oxford Union voted that the House would not fight for king and country. Ribentrop reported this to Hitler who went on to annex Austria and Czechoslovakia and attack Poland.
Many of the Oxford Union who voted not to fight, went on to die for king and country. If Britain and France had jumped on Hitler when he went into the Rhineland, perhaps the Second World War would never have happened.
