I take exception with the words "Very good".

As British Mono pointed out, further clarification is possible.

Even with victory, Germany is going to be in rough economic shape for a while...and a Great Depression could still bring about an unhealthy share of communist/socialist unrest in Western Europe (maybe hitting defeated France/Britain harder this time.  And who's to say that some character like DeGaull doesn't end up being France's version of Hitler?  (Minus all the Jewish hate and aryan mysticism).

H.G. Wells becomes Emperor of Britain and immediately instituted totalitarian policies backed by airpower.  Freely-provided STEM degrees flow like wine from the nation's universities.  Communism collapses peacefully by 1950 in the face of the undeniable material achievement of liberal fascism.  Humanity triumphs and there is rest enough for the individual man.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Huh.  Seems we are fairly evenly split.  I wonder how it breaks down with Euros and Americans.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
