Chamberlain's bust instead?

In the wake of 9/11, the British government sent President Bush a bust of Winston Churchill- a hero of W's- as a gesture of solidarity between our nations. Mr. Bush displayed it prominently in the Oval Office throughout his administration.

But President Obama has not only removed it from the Oval Office, but actually sent it back to the British.

Boorish? Undiplomatic? Of course. But even scarier than it is either of those. The message Mr. Obama sends to all of us with this feckless gesture is appalling.

No Churchill, he. Perhaps he'll replace the bust with one of Jimmy Carter.

Or Neville Chamberlain.
