#1 Life is strange coincidence sometimes. I own the television series the article discusses, Simon Schama's "A History of Britian". And I was watching that very episode it discusses this morning, "The Two Winstons". If you have not discovered the series, I heartily recommend it to all Ranters. It is mystical and beautiful. That episode makes the point that when Britain was tottering on the brink of cutting a deal in 1940 with Nazi Germany and had little to fight with, it fell back on its sense of its own history. The knowledge of that history led men like Winston Churchill and George Orwell to decide independently that Britain's history, and thus Britain, must be defended at all cost - with bullets and not words. In this war on terror, that is one thing that motivates me, the knowledge that 500 years of American history would be wiped out by a Muslim victory. "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender..." Men have faced the greater crises than we now face and won. We are going to win, whatever the cost may be.

a.) disagree
2.) not this term
iii.) expound using postulates
