Say the UK were to do so...how? It's going to take a hell lot ICBMs to reclaim those 13 states (or 11 in your case) and I don't recall any vessels or tactical units in the entire royal armed forces that are capable of engaging in such ambitious operation.
You can always try an air-strike...but they'd probably end up somewhere in the North Atlantic.
Land-based ICBMs, anyone?

Sure they could try, and even if they would succeed in this venture and occupy the 11 ex colonies they would have to put up with an insurgency that could last for years bogging them down in a war that would become unpopular at home. These actions would probably inspire a christian terrorists to attack british interests all over the world. Causing a two front war on terror. Then Christian and Muslim extremists would join forces and take over the world.

The UK could do whatever they want. I'm not sure how Bermuda would react if you tried launching missiles from their territory, though I'm pretty sure London (and Bermuda) would be flattened in a matter of hours.

FREAKZILLA your an idiot the UK wont belong to the US in 10 years.Although Bermuda belongs to the UK and does have military bases over there i dont think the UK would do anything like that to one of its allies.When she says 11 states i think she means the states that Britain owned once.

Come on, I know Brit schools are better than that, but to answer your question, no, you might be able to hit us with missiles, but that is considered an act of war, and we're never stretched too thin to whoop some British ***, of course that would be pretty embarrassing to lose for the third time

I doubt the UK would ever think about such a thing. Their economy is much more stable now, and they've spent the last 200 years getting rid of their foreign territories (Australia, India, etc.). Imperialism ended a long time ago, buddy.

Why would we Britons want to launch an attack at the US and get back the 11 states we left behind in the 18th century. We left them dictionaries and they still can't spell, why the hell would we want the colony back?

Dont bother, the Americans have their heads too far up their own arses to even notice a missile!

Like we'd want to do that.
The US public is better armed than the UK Army. How about we club together and invade Canada.
