We still have French people. Therefore, we cannot be the 51st state.

Cuba: 1) Proximaty; and 2) after we liberate them, there will be a large number of Cuban exiles returning. They will want to stay Americans. So, at an appropriate time, we will give Cuba a choice of staying with us or going independent. I suspect that they will choose to stay with America and will petition to become a state.

yeah sure, I bet there's a huge list of countries on the waiting list aspring for US statehood... in fact its such a debated issue in most congreses and parliaments

BTW, are you serious? do you honestly think that after 50 years of sanctions most cubans will want to be US citizens?

Cuba, the American self-confidence would be seriously hampered, when there only second in baseball.

Tass: you know, When Russians will die out in about... 10-12 years, something has to be done with their land too.


What Hitler couldn't do, the Russians are doing to themselves.

This is copycat thread and it must be removed by Ming.

I vote Israel

Oops, there should be about 5 more choices there (must have pressed enter instead of tab at one point), like Puerto Rico. Including France

51: UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND

i think there has been some confusion, amoung our brothers across the pond. the proposed union of the US and the UK doesn't involve the UK becoming a state, but rather the US becoming a crown colony.

Nah, Cockney, we tried it that way already... didn't like it much. Why not try it the other way 'round this time?

p.s. I think Americans are happy with 50. It's a nice neat number. Besides, more would really clutter the flag.

[gunkulator]

In all seriousness, I would like to see Canada, Australia, New Zealand and all of Europe join the United States. Maybe Russia someday too. IMHO it's the world's best hope to avoid future conflict and promote western values throughout the world.

No banana? No "other" option? BTW everyone knows Porto Rico or Guam are the most likely candidates for the 51st state.

[flash9286]

all of South America should be the 51st state, we dont want to have to come down there again and liberate you all again

Actually I think the US should be Mexico's 32nd state

1) everyone over there is starting to speak spanish
2) your kids are starting to play FOOTBALL (i.e. soccer) just like our kids
3) everyone is starting to like mexican food
4) soon hispanics will be the majority in many states

For more information contact your local Mexican consulate to see what papers your country needs to apply for Mexican statehood.

I think Davis already filled them out!

The 51st state will either be Peurto Rico (due to all the manufacutring going on there drawing a lot of Americans) or California (North and South)....
