May 3, 201214 yr If anyone ever has the good fortune to get the chance to attend a lecture by Craig Campbell I would recommend you take the chance...His general disinterest in technology is very amusing, especially given how much the University I am at wants us to use electronic everything. So his concession to the International Politics department mandate that EVERYTHING must be submitted electronically is to bypass their special website, create a new website, entitle the website 'essay', intentionally lower case like he just couldn't be bothered, leave the 'Description:' tags and fill in all the criteria as 'essay' in what was obviously a cut and paste job.So the due date (today, Huzzah) is essay, the marking criteria is essay, the further reading is essay...It is truely a sight to behold. So yeah, my view of Americans has improved :thumbsup: On the otherhand I think I broke Godwin's law when I compared Truman to Hitler...in a vaguely good way...Said he largely let the Government run itself. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

May 3, 201214 yr Well, the conversation I had with Nex, Wyvern, Paul, Ross, Ico AND you(Sorry Earth, but I didn't want to bother you via PM, everyone else is on IM) AND my research (psht, research...The people I collected to support my opinions), pointed towards the fact that Truman, during the Berlin Airlift, and in his general behaviour, was to set a basically unachievable goal:* Supply Berlin from the AirWithout making the key decisions:* We are in Berlin even if it brings War* We will pull out of Berlin before WarThus leaving the JCS to make the Strategically Horrific move to commit the US reserve Airforce (The airforce America would use to ensure freedom of action during the opening stages of a Hot War, pre-1949 and the Soviet Atomic Bomb) to the airlift. As such Truman could claim that he knew nothing of the plan if it all went horribly wrong and America found itself crippled.On another level he put great store by the Vunderweapons, Atomic Bombs, while being completely detached from the realities of war by not attending any/many of the NSC meetings. Hitler did much the same thing on all counts...He ignored reality, he depended on Vunderweapons, he set up government bodies with overlapping jurisdictions and then left them to fight over how to implement the 'word of God' (aka, him). The ultimate point of which was to highlight that America was not following a consistant plan during the opening stages of the Cold War, beyond that of what the President thought was a good idea...when he was asked...which wasn't often.Ergo, Hitler. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
May 3, 201214 yr Oh, that's fine, I don't have an IM anyways so heh. Also, I guess that makes sense.

May 5, 201214 yr I am thinking that Democracy is more or less dead in the UK... What we need is someone from the 19th Century who, you know, knew how to run a country...rather than several thousand councillers arguing for a horrible compromise. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
May 5, 201214 yr Compromiss are horrible from everyone's point of view. You don't get everything you want in any of them.

May 6, 201214 yr Dusty is funny. I think Mather calling Dusty condescending and cocky is relatively ironic as well.

See how he frowns upon you.
