Ok, what kind of victory do we want? At the start of the demogame, it was 20K culture, then, thing just meandered here and there with no real goal. We still have these options:

100K culture (will require a LOT of conquering) - DG1 Victory
Conquest
Domination - DG2 Victory
Space Race - DG3 Victory
Diplomatic
Histograph

At this rate, we're headed for a very close histographic score with Persia. Whenever it seems we want to go to war, half the people back out in mid-stride... just what do we want to do for a victory? Once we decide, we have to stick to it!
 
Let's go for a victory not done in any of the previous demogames: Conquest.

IMHO diplomatic is too easy and histographic too time-consuming (and no fun).
 
We started with peaceful intentions - 20k Culture, but the game had other ideas. We now need to make the decision and go for it, or risk losing by indecision with a spaceship or histograph to Persia. My feeling is we could have a conquest or domination victory within our grasp if we go for it and I would far rather do that than string it out until the end for a histograph victory. As DG2 got domination, lets go for Conquest!
 
Yeah, we can very easily (just need to beef up our defenses a little more...) take out India, then Germany, then head for the islands.
 
Conquest would be the most fun of all the types, and by far the best. The other types that we haven't done yet are diplomatic and histograph. Diplomacy requires either a cheap victory (by signing alliances or playing Santa Claus just before the vote) or a significant risk of failure. Histograph would be interesting but it would take forever and probably kill DG participation. And running over Persia with tanks is something I've been wanting to do for a while now. ;)
 
I can see running over Persia (what about the Aztecs?). Persia also has some key wonders what we can keep (and use as Airport Bases).

CONQUEST!
