Talk:Heber Young

I'm surprised Featherston's State Dept didn't extend diplomatic recognition to Utah. Usually you wait till the puppet state you're trying to set up has shown some rudimentary evidence of having a snowball's chance in Hell of succeeding even with your support, to spare yourself the embarrassment of creating a DOA ally; and Utah never showed such basic signs of viability. Still in all, the Freedomites had neither the patience nor sense of caution to follow conventional wisdom in such things in '41. Maybe Walker prevailed upon Featherston, but I don't think so; so few people ever managed to rein him in that if Walker had it would have been worthy of a mention.
