First off, I would so read a book about a plucky east end lass who found love in the rubble of the blitz...if it was written by Martin. He would probably kill of the plucky lass but then bring her back as some sort of undead through her sheer plucky will and the power of love only to find her true love was killed a half hour before she came back. Now she must find a way to make him an undead like her by worshipping elder gods of doom who she plans on betraying at the ritual to bring her lover back......what an excellent story that would be.
So anyhow....on to the germane part of the post....

I think Weasel (and this is just my completely uninformed opinion/speculation....we'll call it my opinulation)....the difference between then and now is the Children are weaker because magic is coming back slowly. The Others rely on certain element of muscle and as such are coming to power faster than the children....much much faster. Also the strength of the First Men is scattered. So I think that the Stark children coming of age and the dragons returning will be vital to the deeat of the other.
Once again....all just speculinion.
