Wars, whatever their original intent, ALWAYS morph into juvenile pissing matches about "winning". Which is why we should NEVER start them!

Nowadays you should talk about economic dominos. One visit to Walmart will show they all have fallen. wg

At least 60 killed by cold snap across Europe (Where is Algore?) .............................................................. At least 60 killed by cold snap across Europe London's Gatwick airport reopened on Friday, but others including London Heathrow and Glasgow warned of more cancellations and delays By Agencies Friday, December 03, 2010 emirates247.com A woman struggles with her child's pram in a snow storm as she tries to enter a tram in temperatures of -10deg in Berlin on Thursday. According to meteorologists, the freezing cold will continue in the coming days (EPA) At least 60 people have died across Europe during the current cold snap, as snow plagued transport in Britain on Friday and serious flooding prompted mass evacuations in the Balkans. Seventeen people died in Central Europe in the last 24 hours from the cold, bringing the total this week to 45. A further 11 died in Russia, plus three in France and one in Germany, according to local authorities. At least 30 people, mainly homeless men, have died in Poland in the past week, and temperatures dropped to minus 15 degrees Celsius (five degrees Fahrenheit) overnight. Temperatures plunged to minus 20 degrees Celsius (minus four Fahrenheit) in Braemar, Scotland, while Britain struggled to get back to its feet after days of transport chaos. London's Gatwick airport reopened on Friday after a two-day shutdown due to snow, but others including London Heathrow and Glasgow warned of more cancellations and delays. Many trains were cancelled due to snow and travel by road was slow going, and around 2,000 schools remained closed. Despite Gatwick finally clearing the runways, freezing fog meant flights would be limited and "delays and cancellations inevitable", Europe's eighth-busiest passenger airport said. "It is likely to take a few days before flight schedules return to normal." Eurostar, which operates high-speed passenger trains linking London with Paris and Brussels, said it was running a revised timetable, with 17 services cancelled. It warned of delays through the weekend. Britain's Transport Secretary Philip Hammond has ordered a review of how transport operators have coped with the cold snap. A Downing Street spokeswoman said there were "no major concerns" over supplies of food, petrol, diesel or gas despite the continued freezing conditions, despite warnings of shortages in some newspapers. Police in Newcastle in the northeast of England reminded locals to wear a coat when they hit the pubs this weekend. "Geordies" are famed for their indifference to cold weather. But police in Chatham, southeast of London, were not amused when a woman called the emergency services to report the theft of a snowman. In Germany, a man in his sixties was found dead in the snow outside a savings bank in Leipzig. Authorities ordered all drivers to equip their vehicles with winter tyres from Saturday, or face a penalty of up to 80 euros (105 dollars). Temperatures in Moscow hit a low of minus 24 degrees Celsius (minus 11 Fahrenheit), the lowest for the season in decades, weather authorities said. In the remote Evenk region in Siberia, temperatures hit a crisp minus 51 degrees Celsius (minus 60 Fahrenheit).
