    In other words my approach is 'what might have happened if the situation had been changed in this way'

    Your approach is 'This is what would have happened anyway'






    History degree: bog roll, and you sooooo know it, too. Try it on with someone who doesn't see through your flimsy, floral nightie of a façade.

        Admonishment accepted. Especially as it comes from one with years of first-hand experience.

          Of course, but have you ever wondered why the nazis didnt tip their rockets with chemical or biological when they had the upper hand.

          They had the chance to pepper us with anthrax, f&m, blue tongue, dba_bloke vitriol etc. Why didnt they ? And then later, why didnt we ?

                My point exactly. If these evil b@astards pulled the punch there must have been a very very good reason. Possibly the same reason that would have prevented Europe becoming a nuclear wastland by 1950.
