I dare say that Gobbels would have grabbed the opportunity with both hands!! I dread to think how Fox News would have reported on WWII

Speaking of such things why does the US date its independence from 1776??? From a purely legalistic point of view America was still a British colony until the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783??

Would the history of Ireland have been any different if Eamon (sp?) de Valera and not Michael Collins had been killed in the Irish Civil war?

Give the Druze some sort of independence in what is now Lebanon. As for Lebanon make it some sort of cantonized state which each group getting it own place, a state for the Maronites, one for the Sunnis, one for the Shias. However I can forsee each little statelet descending into civil war...

Damned traitorous colonials :rolleyes:

Dark Horizon, Body and Soul, Millienium, Enemy Within and The Udara Legacy. I've been watching them on satellite the past few weeks

What if all the presidents who were assainated OTL were not killed but those OTL Presidents that were the victims of failed assasinations were actually killed?????

They would have been largely Norwegians right??. If I went back far enough I would find a far bit of Viking ancestry myself as the part of England I'm from was regularly controlled by Viking although my ancestors were Danes. On the subject of fish my family were fishermen right up until the...
