Judging History (branch off from election thread)

The UK has achieved a smiliar settlement, but with fewer wars and less bloodshed. If the UK becomes a Republic then your point will be completely moot. Note it has only remain a monarchy because the people wish it so.

Similar <> the same. And making Britain a republic will not turn it into mini-USA.

No. If you were we wouldn't have sent eminent Aristocrats out to govern you. America was the heart of the Old Empire, the land of opertunity, the engine of British Commerce. Even the currency used in the UK to this day, pounds sterling, bears witness to this.

I believe that "eminent aristocrats" were also sent to govern India. The subcontinent is still rejoicing from the experience.

So are Canada, the UK, and Australia.

Today. Not back then.

You said "we", you want to laud your Republic? Take the bitter pills with the sugar then.

It's not a bitter pill at all. I feel absolutely no guilt about it. I was just stressing that *I* did not do it. Like I said earlier, it was a war of the worlds. Our world happened to prevail. It happened before, back when the Vikings settled in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. At that time *they* became the victims.
