    I've heard it said that the sun never set on the British Empire because God didn't trust the British in the dark. The book "Queen Victoria's Little Wars", by Byron Farwell, makes very interesting reading. And the movie "Mr. Johnson", despite its unassuming title, is a great piece of work (set in British colonial West Africa).

    I myself thoroughly despise what's been called "Cocacolonialism" (i.e., "globalization"). My lifetime has spanned an era when "Darkest Africa" still possessed romantic allure down to these times, when the artist's pallette of once-lovely colors has been smeared to an ugly mud. Just the other day, I watched a documentary about a half-Tlingit gentleman in Alaska who splits time fishing and smoking salmon, a la his indigenous ancesters, with flogging pseudo-native craft items manufactured for him in Indonesia. (I've lived too long.)

    Slightly off topic but this history of post-colonial Africa was great albeit somewhat depressing. Meredith pulls no punches.

    Nice post Corro . Good to see somebody who can write more than three sentences and knit them into something interesting .

    The British Empire was fortunate and inevitable .
    We ruled the waters completely and the Industrial Revolution was apparently bequeathed to us by Archangel Gabriel . We made the most of what fell into our laps .
    Our conduct was good compared to people like the Spanish , french and Belgians .
    It needs to be judged by the standards that passed for OK in those times .
    Our Missionaries and then a breed of amazing explorers ensured we gave much more than pillage and rape . We educated and built , and not just for ourselves
    We retain over 50 countries within the Commonwealth . And as a result a country that would otherwise be outside the top 50 in today's Power Directory lies 6th/7th in economic terms and still pre-eminent in many other areas .

    I've read your posts before and you do nothing but post hateful crap about our country. "Ole boy" we've pulled your nation's rear-end out of the fire. Twice. In two wars. And lately, it seems that your type of thinking (neo-Marxist, utopian liberalism) has infected the British body politic, which has led to an invasion of violent Islamofascsists, rooftops full of mosques and a sissified nation of wankers, too timid and too weak to even stand up to the Iranians when they took your ship two years ago.

    You sit back and post, hit 'send' in the comfort and privacy of your own home and know NOTHING about our nation or our sacrifice.

    I would urge you to take a trip across the channel and step foot into the first cemetary in Normandy and gaze up on the white crosses that dot the landscape. Americans. Young men who had never stepped foot outside their own town, who died (many violently) within hours of landing in Normandy. And in my opinion, died because the British were too damned weak to stop Hitler when they should have (during the Phoney War).

    Rag all you want about our nation, ole bean. In the future, at some appointed place and time, "the racist Americans" will have to pull your rear ends out of yet another British disaster, somewhere in the world.

    Who was the first country to use poison gas in Middle East?

    Britain.
    Good ole General Allenby used poison gas on the Ottoman troops defending Gaza & Jerusalem among other sites.
    In the 1920's
    Churchill "I do not understand this sqeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poison gas against uncivilised tribes.* Henry Wilson shared Churchills enthusiasm for gas as an instrument of colonial control but the British cabinet was reluctant to sanction the use of a weapon that had caused such misery and revulsion in the First World War. Churchill himself was keen to argue that gas, fired from ground-based guns or dropped from aircraft, would cause *only discomfort or illness, but not death* to dissident tribespeople; but his optimistic view of the effects of gas were mistaken. It was likely that the suggested gas would permanently damage eyesight and *kill children and sickly persons, more especially as the people against whom we intend to use it have no medical knowledge with which to supply antidotes.* Churchill remained unimpressed by such considerations, arguing that the use of gas, a *scientific expedient,* should not be prevented *by the prejudices of those who do not think clearly*. In the event, gas was used against the Iraqi rebels with excellent moral effect* though gas shells were not dropped from aircraft because of practical difficulties [.....]
    Today in 1993 there are still Iraqis and Kurds who remember being bombed and machine-gunned by the RAF in the 1920s. A Kurd from the Korak mountains commented, seventy years after the event: *They were bombing here in the Kaniya Khoran...Sometimes they raided three times a day.* Wing Commander Lewis, then of 30 Squadron (RAF), Iraq, recalls how quite often *one would get a signal that a certain Kurdish village would have to be bombed...*, the RAF pilots being ordered to bomb any Kurd who looked hostile. In the same vein, Squadron-Leader Kendal of 30 Squadron recalls that if the tribespeople were doing something they ought not be doing then you shot them.*
    Similarly, Wing-Commander Gale, also of 30 Squadron: *If the Kurds hadn't learned by our example to behave themselves in a civilised way then we had to spank their bottoms. This was done by bombs and guns.

    Wing-Commander Sir Arthur Harris (later Bomber Harris, head of wartime Bomber Command) was happy to emphasise that *The Arab and Kurd now know what real bombing means in casualties and damage. Within forty-five minutes a full-size village can be practically wiped out and a third of its inhabitants killed or injured.* It was an easy matter to bomb and machine-gun the tribespeople, because they had no means of defence or retalitation. Iraq and Kurdistan were also useful laboratories for new weapons; devices specifically developed by the Air Ministry for use against tribal villages. The ministry drew up a list of possible weapons, some of them the forerunners of napalm and air-to-ground missiles:
    Phosphorus bombs, war rockets, metal crowsfeet [to maim livestock] man-killing shrapnel, liquid fire, delay-action bombs. Many of these weapons were first used in Kurdistan.

    ll quotes in the excerpt are properly footnoted in the original book, with full references to British archives and papers. Excerpt from pages 179-181 of Simons, Geoff. *IRAQ: FROM SUMER TO SUDAN*. London: St. Martins Press, 1994

    We don't really count Texas as part of the " our country" notion .
    Texans are viewed as comical and extremely simple and we are looking forward to full colonisation by the Latinos when we shall be delighted to recognise its independence .

    Will that be before or after London is conquered by migrants?
