Who started the Time War?

So yeah the Time War was a plot point since the very first episode of New Who.

But who cast the first shot that started the war?
 
Big Finish says that it was the Timelords.

During a regular attack against Gallifrey in an episode of the audio series Gallfirey, the Timelords sent the 4th Doctor to exterminate the baby Daleks in their nurseries.

Oh yeah "slaps head" Genesis Of The Daleks"

One of the best serials ever in Who..

Yeah but RTD ultimately is responsible for creating the Time War as we know it. I wonder what gave him this idea.
 
Well, I've read that he cited Remembrance of the Daleks as the first real shot at the Time War.

The destruction of Skaro, by a loner whacko after the Dalek's had conquered and colonized hundreds of galaxies, using a million year old weapon?

Would Russia believe that America was invading if Sarah Palin launched Fireworks at them from her back yard?

I'm not sure Sarah Palin quite equates to the Doctor. The most relevant comparison would be Superman, or something.

I mean, OK, not a real person. But is the Doctor?
 
Four had no the #### idea who Davros was.

The Timeline before Genesis, Davros never made it off Skaro, and every episode set after Genesis, Davros was not supposed to have been there.

It also may mean that Davros is now retroactively an active component in all the old stories before Genisis in the new timeline, but what exactly did Davros do in Day of the Daleks, Evil of the Daleks and the Dalek Master Plan?

Ooo.

Davros and Sara Kingdom taking turns water boarding each other.

Cool.
