As it stands I would call it a draw...
Of course you would...

You never give up, but you never rebel either.

Why isn't the early 19th century considered a world war? I can't think of the war of 1812 as being anything more than a sideshow in the Napoleonic Wars.

By the way, Sunday is the 200th anniversary of the invasion of Russia.

Interesting, can you explain?

I watched it a couple days ago on the PVR, was pretty well done, albeit a bit on the cheesy side (that guy constantly "spinning" the digitally superimposed globe, for example). I had no idea in Toronto they had such well-preserved sites from the battle. Looks like next time I'm there I'll have to do more than just kick around the HHOF all day.

Glad to hear it's worth a watch. I have it recorded as well, but haven't watched it yet. I'll be in Toronto a week from today, maybe I'll need to check some stuff out myself.
