Time to add a new caveat, because from email it's not clear to some folks (mind you, if you don't read this it won't matter...)

But it is interesting to read some of the concerns that happened anyway, like wars of confederated states (north and south) and the rather ironic voicing that such united nations are less likely to be at war with others. Though, I suppose, if you count the numbers of wars we've actually experienced on land here, it was limited. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_21_jan_1.html#comment-68882 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/01/hi_fires_21_jan_1.html#comment-68882 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 21:12:07 -0600 Martini-Henry mentioned.
