According to Maus <rhunDARNtheSPAM@DARNtheSPAMkatamailDARNtheSPAM.com>: >> His mother was American. > >Churchill was a convinced Imperialist. He was at the heart of British >government for many years, and made a lot of very stupid plans, as in >the Dardanelles in WWI. and among other things, thought of >recruiting untrained -ex-soldiers to a group in Ireland during the early >stage of the Anglo-Irish war, whose aim was to combat the IRA through >terrror, but instead antagonised most people against the British. > >I would agree that he was a good choice to lead the coalition in early WWII. Considering his repeated high profile failures in WWI and afterward (you missed the disastrous return to the gold standard in 1925), it says someting about British politics that nonetheless he became P.M. in 1940 and it is utterly astonishing that he did such a good job as war P.M. He had another stint as P.M. in 1951-55, mostly notable for his extreme poor health, and he likely would have resigned except that his heir apparent Anthony Eden was in even worse condition. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
