The Treaty of Ghent might as well have said, "Both of us are tired of getting killed for nothing, we all have the shits and all our Generals suck ... can we please hit the rewind button?"
 
That said, the original point was about the Royal Navy, which got their clock cleaned start to finish in that war. Even the huge British land victories in the early part of the war, were ruined by American naval victories on Lake Champlain.
 
You can still brag about Trafalgar though.

Meat and fargle will now claim that was a friendly fire incident, and blame President Bush.

I tried to explain that there was a big difference between supporting someone, and not participating in constant whining, that will not shave one fucking day off the term of the Bush administration. He didn't accept that, so I'm leaving him be.
 
The tasteless nature of his last comment, when made to a total stranger, confirm to me the wisdom of my decision. (as an aside, we are in big trouble when I start thinking I make wise decisions ... )

I think you're too smart for me ... I never know when you're flaming, praising, supporting or trashing me ... so I just pretend it's all nice.
 
This is computer addiction leasure time for me anyway. It's all good.

The ships in North America were the fag ends of the fleet and weren't commanded by the top admirals, the little problem with France was much more important. The real aim of the war for the USA was the annexation of Canada, the aim for Britain was the status quo. The outcome of the war was the status quo.

About 4 years ago MSNBC reported that Putin bought a luxury villa on the French Riviera using U.S. Taxpayer dollars.

What countries owe eachother is so much as to be pretty irrelevent. If all the debts were called in the world economy would collapse and no one wants that.

Hey! I want my $67 Billion back!

Of course, we could always nuke them and let the Gods sort them out later......
