I've heard some people refer to the wars of the 1630s/40s as a world war,
just cos there was some sort of conflict going on just about everywhere
there's records at that point.

Nor do I (though I do speak two of those as second and third languages), and
I fail to see what that's got to do with facing up to Britain's poor showing
in the past three world wars (not to mention world cups...). Come to that,
I'm not sure what it has to do with one's intelligence, either.

Who said anything about losing? Simply being on the winning side is not, in
my book, grounds for claiming victory.

"...or you'll be getting an unexpected visit from the Supreme Commander.

Steve replied to something I said:

I read an interesting article in the Economist last summer which pointed out
that New Labour's reform policies were effectively remodeling the British
parliamentary system along Canadian lines: a government-appointed House of
Lords/Senate, more power to the economic capital city, devolution for the
noisy countries/provinces off in the corner there, centre-leftist
governance, etc. Hm...

But it sounds so much more convincing coming from Mike Harris than from
William Hague (mind you, it would sound more convincing coming from a
*hamster* than from William Hague...)

What that says about the state of OHIP I shudder to think.

Must... not... bite...
Well, I'm just not even going to open the subject of WW2 because, as you can
probably guess Neil, I don't agree with you, and I reckon you can work out
why.
WW1 is more debatable, and I think it's the peace that was really fucked up.
I just really want your first 'world war' clarified. I think you argued
cogently that the AWI was 'just one theatre in a global conflict', but your
response to my suggestion that perhaps you weren't giving the whole picture
of the wars with France was a bit of a cheat, as your use of the term 'world
war' seemed suddenly rather malleable!
From Linda Collee, 'Britons', p. 300-301 (Vintage, 1996): 'More than twice
as long as the First and Second World Wars added together, the wars against
Revolutionary and Napoleonic France were almost as geographically extensive
as far as British involvement was concerned, sweeping through Europe, into
Asia, Africa, North America, Latin America, and even precipitating sea
battles of the coast of Australia.'
I'm not going to claim that everything throughout the 19th century was just
super-duper in Britain, but I can't see how you can claim that Britain
emerged from these wars 'simply... on the winning side'. Taking a guess at
the reason why you claim WW2 was *not* a victory for Britain (economic and
political decline), it seems the reverse is true after 1815.

Minor spoilers for two books ahead.
I was looking through Garth Nix's "Seventh Tower: The Fall" and saw the
preview for the next book, "Castle." I'm not going to explain the
background, just say that one character is getting dragged off to what I
think was called The Hall of Nightmares, which seems to be the castle
torture chambers. I should also mention that magic using characters in
this castle each have a mystical Shadow (no relation [probably] to B7)
creature bound to them that helps heal them when they're wounded as well
as do other work.
OK, door to the Hall of Nightmares opens, reveiling a guy even the guards
are scared stiff of. When he was described as a tall man with black hair
and very pale skin whose attitude to the guards was somewhat sardonic,
you can imagine who I thought of. Then it mentioned an odd deformity he
had. Apparently, about half of one side of his body had a major
accident. His Shadow servant, unable to heal it, keeps him alive by
essentially filling in for that half of his body, giving him an
insectlike arm and other characteristics that keep him from getting
invited to parties much (as a consequence, he takes a certain
satisfaction in how his current job keeps everyone scared to death of
him).
So, kind of 'if Avon were Travis.'
And, with only the mildest of spoilers on the new Harry Potter book
(which still qualifies as a full fledged warning for those who haven't
read the book), Snape reminds me a lot more of Avon than he did before.

Since I got perhaps a touch over cynical the other day (I can't help it.
Anything and everything to do with Clinton does that to me [it's not so
much his complete lack of ethics, it's people who shrug and go, "And
what's wrong with that?"]), I'm going to go the other way.
First off, special mention of one Revolutionary War leader (whose name I
should remember, but can't) who never won a single battle but happened to
win his particular war, a scenario I make particular mention of since it
might provide writers with some idea how to do a PGP that turns the
fourth season around (the guy did it by drawing the British into
relatively meaningless engagements further and further into deep swamp
land. By the end, the British had conquored a great deal of swamp and
apparently brought many malaria bearing mosquitoes under their rule, not
to mention sunk a good many wagons in the mire [so I don't know how to
turn the fourth season into an ongoing battle that cost the Federation
more than it was worth and that relocated needed troops, I just got
started on the idea]).
Let's put in a special mention for old idealism (hey, we all know Blake
formed his political attitudes watching old films from the midtwentieth
century, especially Frank Capra - and he probably loved Jimmy Stewart).
And, although I think the U.K.'s flag is lovely (and I will admit, under
pressure, that ours does have a strong 18th century artistic sense that
is perhaps a bit much by modern standards, though it's nice to have a
flag that's easy to spot [half the point of The Star Spangled Banner]),
I'm very fond of the symbolism behind ours (side issue: political
implications in the various rebellions in B7 having no flag or symbol of
their own [other than Blake]. Did this reflect a lack of unity [all
groups apparently fighting under their own, already in use, local
standards], a feeling that they were only out to reform the system
instead of overthrow it, or some other factor [perhaps they asked the
Liberator's unknown fashion designer to come up with something but could
never quite bring themselves to fight under black leather studded with
silver stars]?).
Sniff, sniff. Must change subject. There's no way I can make some of
the family history stories that are bubbling up connected to B7 (the
advantage of doing extensive family history is the way you can tie almost
any bit of history, no matter how remote, into a family story). I have a
really great one about my great-great grandfather's uncle [through his
mother's second marriage] that always comes up at this time of year. But
I am getting teary eyed over it. Poor Blake, he would have loved this
stuff (connection made! Bet you thought I couldn't do it!).

It was a pretty dire episode, IMHO, but then (again IMHO) very few of
the 6th Doctor episodes rise much above "dire." Actually, I think the
best line was when the Doc called Darrow's character a "microcephalic
apostate." Especially after I looked up the word "apostate." See, PBS
*is* educational!

A lot depends on how you classify 'winning'. In a strictly military sense,
Britain simply can't field a large enough army to win a world war. As far
as WW2 goes, I'd say the war in Europe was primarily won by the Soviet
Union, simply due to the sheer scale of the forces deployed on the eastern
front. America helped. Britain was there. As for the war against Japan,
honours really ought to go to the USA, who took the war to Japan itself
(eventually), whilst Britain merely tied down (admittedly sizable) Japanese
forces in defence and reclamation of mainland asian colonies. (And don't
forget the Chinese.)
All references to 'Britain' should also include the Canadian, Australian,
New Zealand, Indian etc contributions, which were considerable (to say the
least!). The UK effort was hardly the UK on its own.
To play down Britain's overall impact on the outcome of the war is not, of
course, to denigrate the courage and sacrifice of individual service men and
women. What gets up my nose is the tunnel-visioned mentality of union
jack-waving morons trying to claim that *England* won the Second World War.
(Much the same could be said of the First World War too. The crucial
element in the Allied victory was the entry of the United States, seeing as
the French army was on the brink of mutiny and the British forces weren't up
to achieving much, even with colonial assistance. I'm not happy with the
way all attention on that war seems to focus on Flanders, with a sidelong
glance at Lawrence in Palestine, when the largest army involved was the
Austro-Hungarian, the eastern front gets very short shrift, and the Italian
front is almost totally ignored even though tens of thousands of men died
there. It's a very disproportionate perspective.)

Possibly because it is a bit malleable. The 18th/19th Century wars with
France are not generally regarded as 'world wars' proper, though their scale
makes them useful for facetious argument.
Okay - Britain has fought *four* world wars, lost the first hands down, won
the second (with foreign help), and played a significant but limited role in
the winning of the other two.

Not as good a soundbite as your original statement, Neil, but I think that's
something I could agree on.

"Secretary Rontaine" is also in that episode (as the Project
Director). I believe he is also in one of the Dalek episodes (Genesis
Of The Daleks (?)). In that same ep is one of the Alta's from
Redemption (she's one of the freedom fighters).

OK on the world cups, but I'm going to disagree on the last two of the three
world wars. Not something for this list though, far to off topic.

So lets go a little further with an analogy. Football (sorry Soccer) the
goal keeper does not score, but keeps a clean sheet. The midfield player who
runs down the left with energy and determination distracts TWO defenders.
The strikers put the opposition defence on edge, but the winning goal is
scored when a defender heads in from a corner by another defender. Who won
the match ?
The team. Its a team game, the team won, and all of the team members
contributed, and they can all claim the victory.
WWII.
I don't know what would have happened without the British presence in North
Africa, or with a significant part of the Luftwaffe not engaged over the
skys of Britain. Or what would have happened if the resistance in the
Balkans had just caved in, or the Americans had not send supplies over to
Europe and Russia before they actually joined the war. Or indeed hat would
have happened if the Germans had gone for the southern oil fields rather
than the political target of Moscow, or put Rommel on the Eastern front, or
the Japanese had solidly taken the "Western Pacific" instead of pearl
harbour. And these are just examples. It happened the way it happened, and
EVERYTHING that happened played some part in shaping the conflict.
It was an ALLIED victory, and ALL contributors, great and small, on the
front and back home WON the war. Thank you to everybody, even those people
who forget the parts played by the other team members. Yes, even those
people now working in Hollywood.
So.
Back to Blake. In order to judge the success of his high profile operation
during series 1 and 2, you need to know what influence he had on other
people. Even if he personally failed, his very presence on the team changed
things, and could allow something else to happen elsewhere in the galaxy.
Perhaps that was the plan. He didn't have enough resources to win, but he
was really irritating, with superior fire power and excellent early warning
system. He was (by luck) ahead in technology. And the Federation wanted rid
of him, for political reasons. You could even view the whole Star One debate
in this light. Blake didn't really want to destroy Star One. He wanted the
Federation to THINK he was going to destroy Star One. And come after him
with the whole fifth legion. Meanwhile with the Federation distracted by
Blake, a few planets declare independence, and the snow ball starts rolling.
And it worked. Throughout series 4 we hear of planets be brought back under
Federation control. Therefore they had chosen to be outside Federation
control. Blake (with the unwitting help of the Americ...oops Andomedans, who
came in right at the end) actually got what he wanted. Same it didn't last.

<rolls eyes even more> I know exactly how you feel - I was up and in front
