Hey Timbo,Sorry I missed your post before - been somewhat busy.
Relax, man, I didn't mean to reopen old wounds and fight the old conflicts again - just teasing you. Since I am neither French nor British, I shall let you settle this score with some other poor soul - Patrick, perhaps? He-he...
No need for any excuse for W - if we start coming up with excuses, everyone will get his fair share. But I still maintain that in his statue as the warior Napoleon stands alone... W just being a local commander by comparisson.
I agree the fascination with Napoleon can go too far - always a possibility with every historical figure. But there IS justification for that, as he WAS a unique figure.
You know, he kicked the Russian butt quite hard, but I somehow do not hold it against him - I hate bloody war, but if there IS war, let the better man win!
