Subject: RE: BS: War with Canada?
Kendall said, in response to my request for an explanation of why he stated above, "Even though we sorta won the War of 1812, .... " .... gnu..are you serious? The war of 1812 didnt even rate a name. Hell, it was more of a mis-understanding than a war. The way I read it, both sides simply said "Screw it, lets go back to the way we were."

SIMPLY SAID !!!!???? Tell that to all the Americans that lay dead and suffering at the feet of Brock in the WAR OF 1812. A lot of Americans tried to get up that hill in the main battle and were cut down in the line of fire. THEY GAVE THIER LIVES FOR AMERICA. And you call it a "mis-understanding" !!!!???? C'mon, man. You said you "sorta won". Was that idle banter or Yankee puffing ? or WHAT ?
