As someone whose ancestors looted and burned the White House, I will have to profess skepticism at that.

But there IS a fellow who just took his balloons a few hundred miles across the states. He knows a lot more about weather and the rotation of the Earth than the priest, however, so he went West to East and got there safely.

Your Grace

It was in the Great War, that started in 1917 (or so our Amerikan friends think)

Meaning the opposite, Wilfred Owen wrote the Poem :

Dulce et decorum est
Pro Patria mori

[It is sweet & fitting to die for your Beloved Country]

With typical US Realism, General Patten (under whom oor Barak’s Grand-daddy fought through North Western Europe)was heard to mutter :

“The Art of Patriotism isn’t to give your Life for your Country,
but to make the other poor B…..d give his Life for his Country”

The Iranians would be well-advised not to mess with the Amerikans – a Nation that can produce Hot Shots is well-nigh invincible

Yr Grace’s obedient servant etc
