we thought in defense of democracy, it should be up to britain and france. germany was in their backyard. britain and france collaborated on a policy of appeasement in was1930's where the ideal because they felt guilty about the results of the versailles treaty and the end of world war i, they thought, let's give the germans what they want. let's give hitler what he wants in hopes of buying them off. this was not a good strategy for anyone who had read mein kampf and taken it seriously. hitler states plainly that his intention should he come to power is to wage a war for territory in eastern europe and build this massive german empire. while the warning signs were there, frequent roosevelt in 1937 gave what becomes known as the quarantine speech where he did not mention any country specifically. people sort of understood who he was talking about, but when he put forward this idea that we should quarantine aggressive nations, there was a tremendous outcry in the american public and he basically had to pull back from that position. we were not prepared for whe

this is something you hear in britain all the time. a lot of people say the idea was killed off in june with various changes. and it doesn't carry a lot of weight in e.u. legislation. so i think what cameron really has to do at this point, is he has to try to make an emotional argument, because he's really hamstrung in terms of making actual policy changes, because the point of the e.u. is that you have dozens of countries in the e.u. and you have to give and take. so the idea that you can just walk in and demand radical changes such as saying we're not going to give migrants any benefits as they come, that simply isn't possible, and cameron knows that. so he has to go for quite superficial things. almost no policy change that is likely is going to win over the die hard skeptics. so he has to make the argument emotional not paced on policy. >> but what about the argument that he has linked the u.k.'s membership to national security? >> well, that's very true, and he could make that argument. certainly with russia's incursion into ukrai
