Do you think the Patriots would have seen it coming?

Think about it. In the Revolutionary War, America was fighting Britain. And the the 1900s come along, and in two MAJOR wars, the Brits and Americans fight alongside each other...

I doubt the Patriots, aka Colonists, saw that coming.

But then again, just as much as enemies can become allies...allies can become enemies...

The colonists would have never thought that the Brits would ever truly be their allies in war...and likewise, we would never think about the Brits being our enemies.

Currently in war, Britain and America are allies, like they have been for practically 100 years...but socially Britain and America are becoming enemies. Mostly because of their warped ideas about 9/11...their conspiracy theories are driving a wedge in. Britain blames America for all the world's problems, failing to realize America and Britain are one in the same, and always have been. America's Bill of Rights was strongly based off the English Bill of Rights.

With the directions both countries are headed...its very possible America could end up losing all its European allies.

It seems unlikely to most...but I am sure it was an unlikely thought that the very country America had to fight to get its independence would become its strongest ally in two world wars and the war on terror as we speak.

I doesn't necessarily have to happen in our lifetime, but it could always happen. Its easy to say "well if I am not alive then who cares?" But you should care if you care for your children or grandchildren's future.

The world of Allies and Enemies is forever changing. Germany is more of an ally now than they were in the past. But just cause one was an ally in the past, or is an ally now, does not mean one will always be an ally...

It can always happen...
