    Most important event in the 20th century

    I think you have just shown that one event can't be looked at alone, there is no single most important event as they are all interlinked.

    Colonies

    Cricket and former British dominions is an interesting study, just look at British Asians and who they support. The cricket link to their ancestral home is very strong.

My prefered option is for South Africa with a UN mandate to remove Mugabe and then let the UN supervise a fair election.

    It is about time Britain backed Zimbabwe's permanant expulsion from the commonwealth and put Mugabe up for arrest in Europe.

    Nogova's flag

    I am back from Italy! I'm really glad to see that my brain child has come about!

    Nogovan flag

    I have been thinking recently, If Nogova (and islands?) is an independant republic, what is it's flag? I think we should put our heads together and come up with one. Would you go for the simple, symbolic style, like the Norfolk Island one (which I think would suit Nogova): Or go along the lines of other post soviet countries and try a style like Moldova: Or should it have a more clearly communist feel like china: Or would you go with a more psudo-heraldric feel (as a country trying to re-invent it's nationality might), this is the flag of Flanders: What do you think? any suggestions? Nogova needs a flag! I want one for missions/possible campaign and to give the public areas of the island a little character, a national feel.

    Cold war

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (denoir @ Aug. 19 2002,07:16)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">There are two men that I would like to take my hat off for effectivly ending the cold war. One is Mikhail Gorbatchev for ending it on the Soviet side, for initiating and leading the Perestrojka and for letting East Germany go. The other is Ronald Reagan who did a 180 turn when he realized that the Soviet Union was changing and adoped a friendly position. Those two were crucial in the final peaceful resolution of the cold war.<span id='postcolor'> It may hurt you to accnowledge this but Thatcher changed the West's attitude to Gorbatchev: "This is a man with whom we can do business". Just days before Regan was calling them an "Evil Empire". Thatcher changed his mind, they were personally and politically close. Also I read recently that the danger of nuclear war passed when US and British Submarines tapped Soviet communication cables in the Barrents sea. They discovered that the USSR was afraid of being struck by nuclear weapons and had no plans for an attack of their own. Needless to say NATO was able to relax a little!
