However, he was obviously quite clearsighted and modern for his time and the number of things that were created during his short "reign", still in use, is quite incredible.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024294080108212018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866904825631909842.post-69797427674132497262007-06-08T16:29:00.000+02:002007-06-08T16:29:00.000+02:00P.S.

I have studied Napoleon a fair bit, and have to conclude that he was a bit of a bad boy. Regime change where not invited, spreading democracy French style where not required, dominating and imperialistic behaviour, and so on......not quite PC in 2007. On the other hand the so called "war party" in England would not leave him alone. Who was right?<BR/><BR/> However, we don't have to concern ourselves with any of that old style stuff - we are modern!
