I recall a speech included on the "Elizabeth Taylor In London" album (from 1963) in which she reads the words of William Pitt (the elder) taken from a letter addressed to the British Parliament - 18 Nov 1777, concerning [our] government's continued actions against the upstarts across the ocean. The speech concludes with:
“If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my arms -- never! never! never!”
In seeking to find the speech on the net, rather than transcribe it from the LP recording, I found someone else had beat me to it: http://blogs.salon.com/0002255/2006/09/30.html
hosted by someone named Allen L Roland
- a name & site that means nothing to me.
The point being, it is a shame that our present "Majesties" aka Bush & Blair, had not studied our history a little better.
I won't copy the whole speech, suffice to say that its introduction includes the line: "you
CANNOT conquer America"
For those of a similar mind ...
For those of an alternative view, I respect that view and hope that, in the long run, you will be proved right ... I have my doubts.

"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their grey visions they obtain glimpses of eternity, and thrill, in awaking, to find that they have been upon the verge of the great secret. In snatches, they learn something of the wisdom which is of good, and more of the mere knowledge which is of evil."
—Edgar Allan Poe, culled from "Eleonora".
