Peace can be a surrender as well as an achievement, especially
when facing an enemy dedicated to something unpleasant. Chamberlin
returned from a visit to Germany with a so-called agreement in his
hands, and announced that by granting concessions to Hitler, he had
achieved "peace in our time."
Peace is a byproduct of victory against those who do not want
peace.
