It would be downright silly to object to you posting here.

As to the USA wanting to join the Commonwealth, I think it is a fascinating idea, but find it hard to imagine Americans accepting membership of an organisation under the Queen. Do you really think it could catch on?

As for English-speaking peoples being one nation, I'm not sure that I believe in nations in that sort of way.

If the Indians can accept being part of an organisation under the Queen, I can't see why Americans couldn't. It's not as if membership of the Commonwealth means monarchism in any real sense.

Also, joining the Commonwealth would allow the USA to leave the bloody UN whilst at the same time salving the concience of the internationalists!
