How can the newly created US and Britain become friends shortly following the War of Independence? Two words: best interests. Any one who studies politics can tell you that nations don't have permanent enemies and friends, they have permanent interests.

The British lost their American colony thanks to French intervention. The French government bankrupted France in order to help the Americans humiliate their arch-rival, England. The French government had to raise taxes greatly to cover the cost of that campaign which paved the way for the French revolution. The French revolution took the American revolution to the extreme and threatened to export it to all of Europe. Now Britain sought ties to the United States because of the treat posed by Napoleon who had bastardised the French Revolution into an Empire.

With reference to the Queen of England being some sort of King Pin figure in international events, you do remember that King Charles I was beheaded by his own people? How does that sit with the omnipotent aura you seem to attribute to the British monarch? How does it sit with the fact that Napoleon ravaged Europe and deposed many Kings and Princes who are directly related to Queen Elizabeth II? If they were so powerful how did a minor Corsican noble destroy not just one King, but many?

Here's how, Napoleon was bankrolled by the Rothschild banking family. They also financed the British, Prussians, Russians etc who were fighting him. When Napoleon was finally defeated at Waterloo the Rothchilds had a messenger present to determine who had won the pivotal battle. That messenger got word back to London where his boss, Lord Rothchild pretended to look sombre at the London Stock Exchange and began to sell off British stocks like a man possessed.

Those other traders who knew the Rothchild families renowned intelligence network assumed he'd heard that Duke Wellington had been defeated by Napoleon, so they too began selling British stocks at apace. Secretly, however, Rothchilds had instructed his traders to quietly buy as many of these newly-cheap stocks as they could. When news finally arrived in England that Napoleon's army had been routed by the British-Prussian forces at Waterloo confidence returned to the stockmarket and the Rothchilds had increased their wealth - and hence control of British business - to many orders of magnitude more than they previously did.

These are the people who now control our globe. The British Royal family were nothing but convenient conduits for people like the Rothchilds to manipulate the populace in order increase their wealth. With the advent of a representative government in England, the power of the British monarch was dead.

These international bankers used control the Monarchs of Europe but now they have shifted their attention to our politicians. Your anger is misplaced.

I've always liked Queen Elizabeth. In her youth, she was quite the babe. At her current age, she reminds me of my grandmother.

It is rare these days to witness a true lady and even less so to actually encounter one. I guess that's the reason news agencies feel compelled to publish rules of etiquette that were once commonly displayed by gentlemen in the presence of a lady.

Queen Elizabeth is a national treasure.

In America, we have an elegant First Lady, but who gets all the media?

Paris Hilton
Rosie O'Donnell
Anna Nicole Simpson (deceased)

If you ask me Queen Elizabeth is a breath of fresh air.

How can the US and Britain go from being arch enemies, to being such good friends in literally 5 years after the Revolutionary War ended? Because Britain gained COMPLETELY control, and the new American leaders were set up by the Royals, to do their bidding.

Study history before you defend this inbred piece of trash.



Maybe you should study history more yourself. The assertation that the U.S. and the UK became good friends just 5 years after the Revolutionary War is patently false. The Revolutionary War ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. But by 1812 the U.S. and the UK were once again at war with each other, ending basically in a draw which solidified U.S. independence and Canada's allegiance to the Crown.

During the U.S. Civil War, the UK was accused of helping the Confederacy in the south in an effort to see the U.S. weakened.

It wasn't really until during WWI that the U.S. and UK truly became alllies.

Elegant? I don't think that the First Lady wants any media attention in case this might be brought up...........

But you are certainly correct in your assertion that the Queen of England, is a breath of fresh air.

Queen Elizabeth, who probably never worked a single day in her life
[edit on 9-5-2007 by LightWorker13]


Lets not forget the work she did as a lorry driver alongside all the others here in the war effort, which ultimately aided towards the freedoms we have today which enable people like you to sit here and freely spout hate crap like this!



I thought she worked as a mechanic..............? a machinest of sorts?

This is what Wikipedia has to say on the matter.


In 1945, Princess Elizabeth convinced her father that she should be allowed to contribute directly to the war effort. She joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service, where she was known as No 230873 Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor, and was trained as a driver. This training was the first time she had been taught together with other students. It is said that she greatly enjoyed this and that this experience led her to send her own children to school rather than have them educated at home. She was the first, and so far only, female member of the royal family to actually serve in the armed forces, though Queen Victoria was Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian militia, and other royal women have been given honorary ranks. During the VE Day celebrations in London, she and her sister dressed in ordinary clothing[citation needed] and slipped into the crowd secretly to celebrate with everyone.

This from MSN Encarta.


During World War II (1939-1945) Elizabeth and her younger sister were sent for safety from Buckingham Palace in London to live first at Balmoral, Scotland, and later at the royal lodge at Windsor, England. Although her father did not want Elizabeth to be called up for national service during the war, she herself was most eager to join the Auxiliary Territorial Service, the women’s branch of the British Army. She was finally allowed to join in March 1945.

The BBC


Elizabeth and her younger sister Margaret were educated at home. On the outbreak of war in 1939, they were evacuated to Windsor Castle. In 1945, Elizabeth joined the war effort, training as a driver in the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service (WATS).

NNDB, whatever that is.


At 16, as World War II raged, she asked her father if she could serve as a volunteer nurse in bombed-damaged [sic] London, but he though [sic] it was too dangerous. She persisted in asking, and when she was 18 he allowed her to volunteer with the Auxiliary Territorial Service, where she was trained to drive and repair heavy transport vehicles, although she was not allowed to do much of the actual driving and repair work.

Britain Express.


In 1945, the year in which she flew for the first time, the teenage Princess took a courageous decision: fiercely desirous of showing that she was resolved to do her bit for the war effort, she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Services as Second Subaltern No. 230873, a rank equivalent to second lieutenant. It was at this time that Elizabeth truly began to fulfil [sic] her mother’s ambitions for her. Her contemporaries frequently remarked not only on how at ease she appeared, but also on what a capable driver she was!

Though her actual role does seem small, in no small measure because of her age during the war, it seems that Elizabeth willingly did what she could in the service of her country during WWII.
