So That Makes The British...
Published by BG on Sunday, May 20, 2007 at 10:55 AM.Newt Gingrich just equated the Civil War in Iraq with the American Revolution, asking Senator Chris Dodd if he were in the shoes of the French Legislature in 1776, would he decide to give George Washington's side the aide they needed to defeat the British?
General Washington, if I remember my history correctly, was part of a revolutionary force that was attempting to eject the occupying force of foreigners from their country in order to claim self-determination and homeland rule.
So if we want to use this analogy, and if helping the Iraqis (with the supplemental) find solid footing for self-determination is equivalent to the French aiding General Washington's noble cause for freedom, who then is the analogous occupying force attempting to influence an overseas government through puppeteer control over the leadership?
Hint: It's not the Iranians.
