"Two conflagrations and a lot of deaths less to end up in the situation that we find ourselves in now anyway."

Really??? We are being ruled by a German military autocracy are we Guest Dave? Just exactly what planet are you living on?

"Why would I want to be associated with your repugnant, pro-imperialist, death denying views?"

The fact that Great Britain had an Empire in 1914 is a historical reality and a fact and please provide any example of me denying death? On the otherhand GUEST Dave I can supply an example of your death denying views - i.e. There would have been 17 million less deathys if Great Britain had not gone to war in 1914.
