While it might not happen in this millenium, don't forget that in the previous
millenium, the UK ruled the USA for nearly half its existence.

The UK ruled the USA for 175 years, the USA has been independant for just over
220 years.

It's amazing how history telescopes these events, so that the period of British
rule is now virtually forgotten!

Anyway - have a happy and prosperous new year!!!
