Feeding the Croc in 2013

Jeff Jacoby ponders the EU MO re Hezbo in very Churchillian terms:

What so often motivated Europe’s appeasers, Winston Churchill understood, was cowardice and dishonor. “Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last,” he said of the political elites who thought the best way to confront the threat posed by Nazi Germany was to avoid confronting it. “All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured.”  

What would Churchill say of the European elites today who imagine that the best way to confront the threat posed by Hezbollah, one of the world’s deadliest and most fanatic terror networks, is likewise to avoid any confrontation?

I'm pretty sure he would say, "What big teeth you have, Mr. Crocodile. The better to eat stupid elites (who haven't changed a whit since Neville Chamberlain's time) with."
