As a matter of fact, they did.

Entire units surrendered en masse. They all but fell over themselves trying to get to the American lines to do so, knowing what they'd face from the Red Army. Meanwhile, Hitler's last-ditch secret projects were being sabotaged by deliberate construction mistakes and delays.

If a standard is being synthesized that requires 0 activity from the aggressors before the defenders can say progress is being made, that is a standard to create failure.

Huh?

Are you saying, for instance, that the Korean Armistice was a failure because we did not actually win that war, but merely reduced North Korea's aggressive activity to zero?

Why don't you suggest what to do about AQ besides rol over and surrender?

He did, here, and nowhere have I ever read Raoul say we should "rol over and surrender".

You have never answered to the facts that Iraq under saddam was in fact a rogue, and terrorist and terroist supporting nation.

Fact? Got corroborating evidence? Or is this yet another of those "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence" things, O True Believer? And why does Raoul have to answer to your alleged "fact"? Is he the combined government of every nation who chose not to join the Coalition of the Easily Coerced? Or is he just your target of opportunity?

Appeasement has never worked, and generous offers to allow yourself to be nuked in the name of peace are actually very impractical.

See here for your misuse of the word "appeasement". The remainder of the sentence, after the comma, is gibberish. In fact, the remainder of the post is gibberish:

Just as NK is treated differently than Iraq, and Afghnistan is treated differently than Pakistan, so should German/French and Belgian appeasement and complaceny be treated uniquely.

Whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean... making vieled threats against foreign nations, Ed? On whose behalf - your own?
