He was there alright, but as typing I just remember, what I was going to point out was not what he said in his speech at Liberty Hall, but in a local TV station's interview with him that morning... he said, at that every minutue, something like 233 wars were ongoing. Back to statistics: That means more than likely there were at least 466 countries involved.... I didn't know there were that many countries existed... now, what was my point? I forgot.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155999413862242756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19633521.post-1532030994695693822008-08-26T04:03:00.000-07:002008-08-26T04:03:00.000-07:00Right you are, ET.

Back in the good old days, when I was in Henry VIII's court, we had lots and lots of those wars.Si's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175544032803867701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19633521.post-86663181448926934832008-08-25T07:40:00.000-07:002008-08-25T07:40:00.000-07:00Si,I think a war could be a war if only two little...Si,<BR/>I think a war could be a war if only two little tiny countries were fighting over rights to a couple acres of land to put up a pig farm.

I tend to think of world wars or major powers wars. Things like 100 Year Wars, Thirty Year Wars, Seven Year Wars. I consider WWII to be the last war. Of course, to all the poor folks killed, maimed, displaced, etc. by the other more regional wars, it is still a war. But WWII was half a century ago.Si's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175544032803867701noreply@blogger.com
