bob,

The war of 1812 was a brief annoyance to the British who were much more focused on fighting Napoleon. Part of the reason for the war was that they didn’t want the US to trade with France and thus help France.

I suspect that part of the reason it’s not discussed much in Britain is that the British navy (the most powerful military force in the world at the time) took some losses that were very hard to swallow.

When you add the fact that the war basically ended in an armistice with no real victor, there’s no real fun in talking about it, is there?

Of course we did. Not having an exit strategy is not the same thing as not having a plan. Now, if you mean that he’s assuming we had a plan in the 20s, then that’s debatable, yeah. But we’ve been looking at Iraq for a long time – as have lots of countries.

@GTT: You’re assuming we had a plan for Iraq.

The Canadians have been secretly working on genetically altering Killer Whales to enable them to live in the fresh water of the Great Lakes….so that they’ll eat the American Navy as it sails across to invade the Canadian side.

Speaking of attempts to invade Canada -
I recently moved from the US to Britain, and taking a British History course here, I’m occasionally amazed by the difference caused by a change of perspective. I swear that in High School American History we spent a good couple of weeks on the War of 1812. In my British History books – no mention of it. None. Totally unimportant, especially in comparison to the wars with revolutionary and Napoleonic France. The White House was burned down, put they don’t even care enough to be arrogant about it. And once again, attempts to invade Canada failed.

I believe Iraq was War Plan Orange with Purple Polka Dots.

(mostly because nobody could figure out just what color puce was)
