Munich was also produced as a justification for the Vietnam War and President Bush’s war of choice in Iraq. 1930’s appeasement – a word that elides diplomatic engagement and the rejection of military options – was said to remind us of what would happen if South Vietnam was not defended and Iraq not invaded. We know what happened in both countries.
此外慕尼黑阴谋也被用来为越战和小布什的伊拉克战争论调撑腰。1930年代的绥靖政策——即放弃外交干预以及反对武力解决的做法——当年都被用来说服人们：如果他们不保卫南越以及不入侵伊拉克的话，就会吞下什么样的苦果。但而今我们也早已明白，自己被蒙骗了。
