Uh, how is the House of Windsor 1200 years old? In 1066 William (the Conqueror) came over from Normandy to take over the country, and wasn't there some discontinuity along about the time Cromwell expressed his displeasure with Charles I? > If you lost your greatest possession to a group of terrorists, wouldn't > you look for a different way to bring them back?

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!! While I'm certainly no Anglophile, I think it is important to note that the British WON the War of 1812, and the only reason they did not reinstate colonial control over their American colonies was a little fellow from Corsica who was causing a spot of trouble back home in Europe. (BTW - contrary to what you were probably told in school, the British didn't start the War of 1812; it was started by a bunch of hotheads mostly in New York and Pennsylvania who invaded Canada, which was a British colony at the time. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
