		Another name, the Colonial New Zealand Wars is also used, especially by Tim Ryan and Bill Parham in the title of their lavishly illustrated and well written book.
		And, on the question of 'civil wars', some historians have recently suggested that the New Zealand Wars were really civil wars fought between a number of Maori tribes, with settlers and the Crown almost relegated to the role of bystanders.

	The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Connecticut - 1614 Ardriaen Block
		In 1613 he and another Dutch fur trader were on their way back to Holland with a cargo of furs when Block's ship, the Tiger, caught fire and was destroyed at the mouth of the Hudson River.
		In the course of this voyage, Block became the first recorded European to explore the Connecticut River, sailing 60 miles up the river, past present day Hartford, probably as far as the rapids at Enfield.
		As Captain Block had discovered the Connecticut River and named it the Fresh-Water, and had looked into Narraganset Bay, the Dutch felt that they had a legal claim upon those regions according to the English doctrine concerning the right of discovery.

		Block edited "Home Page" for over a year and a half and wrote much of it while in the editing room, weaving together a narrative out of the many stories.

	Activist Elmer compares Iraq to Vietnam
		He pointed out that both wars were popular in the beginning and said that many Americans didn't turn their backs on Vietnam until it appeared that the country was unable to achieve a swift victory.
		What's wrong with the war in Iraq is that under international law, invading a country that hasn't invaded you first is a war of aggression and a crime against humanity."
		As an example from the Vietnam War, he detailed the U.S.-supported military coup that overthrew neutral Cambodian ruler Norodom Sihanouk and placed General Lon Nol in power - an act that led to five years of war and innumerable Cambodian casualties.

	City Block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because each city block is an independent unit in its own right, a sense of patriotism is often attached to them by their residents and wars can break out with "enemy Blocks" over the most trivial matters.
		For the Judges, a Block War is one of the toughest situations to police, simply because there are usually so many people involved and arrests generally have to be made in vast numbers before things can be properly cooled down and peace restored.
		Although Block Wars are common enough in Mega-City One, when three quarters of the city started fighting each other, the Judges knew that there must be some outside force inspiring the violence.

	Gapers Block : Detour : Compare and Contrast: Savage Wars of Peace and Virtual War
		Virtual War takes a long look at what the campaign in Kosovo teaches us about contemporary ways of making war, while Peace tries to make sense of our current engagements by examining the history of the United States' previous invasions.
		Virtual War is written by Michael Ignatieff, a Harvard professor who is better known for his role as a public intellectual than as an academic.
		The research for his 420 page book (twice the size of Virtual War) was spent mainly consulting soldier's memoirs and biographies, and as a result Boot lapses into a series of blow-by-blow of descriptions of the derring-do of the armed forces.

		This is broken into Saga, Depth, and Emotion, and does a good job of giving players dozens of different ideas for their character’s reason for being a part of the adventure.
		This is a great book for Star Wars players and is definitely a better choice for a player on limited funds than any of the other Star Wars RPG books.

	LEGO Star Wars Review - PlayStation 2
		LEGO Star Wars is based around the gameplay of lightsaber action (slashing droids and other adversaries), flight combat (control LEGO-made Star Wars ships in outer space!), and using the Force (draw blocks and other objects close and move them to different locations).
		LEGO Star Wars showcases destruction with the abolishment of LEGO blocks in the same way your little brother would as a kid.
		LEGO Star Wars is beautiful in a way that no other game is. I suppose if they had developed a game based on the Harry Potter LEGO sets it would have received just as much praise.

	Gapers Block : Airbags : Star Wars Trilogy and THX 1138 on DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		While the original Star Wars is an amazingly innovative piece of filmmaking from a technical standpoint; its story is very nearly as cartoonish and silly as Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers.
		Though Harrison Ford's vocal ambivalence towards Star Wars makes his participation in a commentary track unlikely to happen, one bizarre omission is Mark Hamill, considering his passion for the original Star Wars films, to say nothing of the science fiction genre.
		The Star Wars Trilogy DVD box set lists for $70 but seems to be available everywhere in the galaxy for roughly $45 -- Amazon sells it for $42.

	The dams and wars that block the coming of 'another world'
		And she is usually defined by what she is against: corporate globalization, nuclear weapons, mega dams and the war on Iraq.
		For those who disagree with her world view, she is a predictable polemicist who has parlayed the fame of her Booker Prize-winning novel "The God of Small Things" into becoming a patron saint of progressive politics or lost causes, depending on your perspective.
		Perhaps that is why it is important to read the speeches in the context of her lively interviews with Barsamian.

		Though not exclusive to Star Wars, Fandom’s discussions about plots, characters and trivia are indicative of the role a single sci-fi movie series has played in the world of entertainment.
		Alternately panned and lauded by critics, the film encompasses all the special-effects technology that Lucas is said to have pioneered, yet there is a noticeable tone-down in its campiness.
		Plans are under way for an extravagant celebration in 2007 (the 30th anniversary of Star Wars), a message that the fan base may outlive the saga itself.
