Michael D.Burke...RE:"New Orleans in 1815"

That victory, against Wellington's troops,
was even more one sided than Desert Storm.

Too bad they didn't have faxes...the peace
treaty was signed, in Belgium, some weeks before.

Just goes to show what Wellington's troops would
have done at Waterloo, had Blücher not bailed him out.
(where are you victor?)

------------------------------------------------------

In 1982 an American told me how "lucky" the Germans
were to have had all their factories destroyed, so they
could rebuild and have more modern manufacturing facilities.

While Detroit had to struggle with outdated facilities.

(strange thought.....)

It does emphasize that Geography has greatly participated
in the influences in businesses and cultures.
