Bret Stephens: Worse Than Munich - WSJ.com
To adapt Churchill: Never in the field of global diplomacy has so much been given away by so many for so little.
Also: No, "adapt" is probably the right word here. "Paraphrase" somehow seems to miss the wonder of a Churchillian quote on a completely unrelated subject (the RAF in the Battle of Britain) being appled to (oops, adapted for) a negotiation with Iran (worse than Munich! Oh, so much worse!)
Here's a quote we are adapting from the world-famous Anonymous: 99% of political pundits are useless and the remaining 1% should just shut up.
