Just came across the Joseph Warren song "Free America" written around 1780 with the chilling words:

Some future day shall crown us The masters of the main, Our fleets shall speak in thunder To England, France and Spain. And the nations o'er the ocean's spread, Shall tremble and obey The sons, the sons, the sons, Of brave Amerikay!

Yup! Tremble and obey sure seems to be the fate of us across the ocean with Bush in charge. Didn't know it had been planned so long ago, though.
