Is it really "practical", Four Winds? If so how is it that the armed forces of various western European countries were chased out of a whole range of colonial siutations and - in the case of those from the USA, Britain and a few other places - have been once again humiliated in Iraq more recently - when a "cakewalk" was promised? This stuff has nothing to do with "latitude". It concerns armed violence and political ruthlessness.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I remember reading something once about the folks from temperate countries being less prone to taking things easy - no 'manana' culture and siestas during the afternoon. This and the desire to get the fuck out of the rainy lands helped them go out and kick ass (or try to).

I'm not defending or attacking what was said/read, because I, like yourself, can't be sure of the full context.
