Talk:Peace with Honor

Why Nixon first?
I'm editing someone's book of peace quotations and have a couple more didn't feel like putting in. But I do wonder why Nixon is first. Isn't it rather Recentism?? I think a lead saying that it has long historical roots AND was particularly of recent interest before WWII from Chamberlain and from Nixon would be more appropriate.

 * If you Google it, it's Nixon, Nixon, and more Nixon. I went through seven pages of results and didn't see Chamberlain once. I wouldn't want to give the impression that Nixon was quoting Chamberlain, since no one interprets the phrase that way. Disraeli is at least as notable as Chamberlain in this context. On an unrelated note, William Safire was probably the writer for Nixon's speech. So it's interesting that his account of the phrase is all about Disraeli and doesn't mention Chamberlain (or even Nixon). His own role in this story is apparently too painful to recall.

Used as a central point in their battle hymn as early as 1943. Not sure how to cite/source it here. --NEMT (talk) 04:27, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
