"Read up, and then reconsider what you just posted."
If you wish to confine your perception of my remark to such a small time period as you did, then your response is reasonable.
Now lets do it my way.....
Over many many centuries, "Iraq" has been the defacto capitol of islam (yeah, I know about mecca and medina, too) and largely the arab world, and the inhabitants are aboriginal.
Not much resemblance to what has occurred here, even if you choose to stretch the (US, founders) retrospective to its limit, which would be 1492, but speaking practically, a lot shorter than that. (I'm not much into longterm typing in my posts, so I'll stop here)
I'm sure you could give me some history lessons, but none that would justify the title of the thread....."Bush to compare Iraqis to America's founders"......there is no comparison.
"but none that would justify the title of the thread....."Bush to compare Iraqis to America's founders"......there is no comparison."
No comparison whatsoever.
The Iraqi people would still be living under the tyranny of Saddam had it not been for American blood spilled on Iraqi soil.
Our American patriots did NOT wait for a foreign military to assist them in their quest for democracy, freedom, and taxation with representation.
About the only valid comparison is that, in both the case of Iraq and colonial America, Americans died for freedom.
