I'd give up whilst you are behind if I were you Keith.

You can't say, quote, mislead or cite anything that contradicts the fact that poor leadership and propaganda are the two main issues with WW1.

Far too many graves, far too many false reasons given for filling them. You should read what Jeremy Paxman said about the reasons for war. Or look at actual timelines, there for anybody to see and make up their own minds.

The problem is, most people laughing at you do so because they are capable of reading, viewing and assessing, and coming up with their own slant. You look a fool when you say "the historians" because you make it sound like you should believe what a vicar tells you about God. Blind faith in either sphere is the sign of a shallow mind.

Never mind. Akenaton still loves you, although Terribulus seems to have written to "Dear Deidre" for advice.
