If there was a war between America and Britain (I doubt there ever will be)

But you fail to see that Britain is allied with Europe with the EU? They would go to war to preserve the peace, which this made up War Hungry America seems to not like? Even if Britain was blown to bits, if other countries stopped America, then Britiain will still have won because they were apart of that war. Then you have to remember that a large number of the US has residents with some British, French, Russian, Scottish, Italian, Spanish background so a civil war would be possible.

I'm talking about Britain on it's own. If it was just America and Britain, and only Americans in America and only Britons in Britain, America would win.

That's my pet hate. Everyone puts on an american accent when they say "I'm gonna kick your ***." And I get the mick taken for saying "****."

Your still ignoring the most important factor, the Uk and US are nuclear powers. Nether country could invade the other successfully without incurring nuclear wrath from the other. It doesn't really matter how big a country is, once its been destroyed once, its ****ed, the fact the US could desroy the uk more times than the Uk could destroy the us therefor isnt really an advantage.

Also note, even if somhow the US could destroy Britain before it launched a nuclear strike, Britain's nuclear power comes from off shore submarine so the US would be equally ******.

Same but opposite. Everyone over does the "pip pip, cheerio." The guy from desperate housewives had a horrible accent. Let me see... Ah here it is.

Gomme: The EU doesn't bind us into any kind of military alliance - they didn't have to go to Iraq with us did they? I'm not saying the other EU nations wouldn't disagree with an attack on Britain but i don't think we'd have their support militarily.

Despite starting quite an interesting discussion, i do think this is a bit of a silly thread.
Even more silly are the assumptions/generalisations about the intelligence of members of either country - All Americans arn't stupid; we both have our share of dim people. Equally, it's not like everyone in Britain is the next Brunel or Shakespeare or whatever.

In the end i don't think that anyone can deny that the US would have far more manpower and resources and would therefore be likely to win any kind of conflict.
In answer to the original question though, all other opinions i may have about the reasons at the time aside, i'd want Britain to win.
