"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.
Yep, those Brits back then were exactly the equivalent to Saddam's thirty year terror reign on the Iraqi people as he filled up the mass graves, the torture chambers and the rape rooms.
WHy, if a Colonist back then so much as uttered a word against the King, of course his tongue was cut out of his throat, he was hung on a pike in the town square in front of all the people, and he gurgled to his death choking on his own blood. But first he had to watch his wife and daughters raped and tortured, and his sons dragged away to the King's army.
Another way of saying...shame on you.
Our American patriots did NOT wait for a foreign military to assist them in their quest for democracy, freedom, and taxation with representation.
Ah but w/o a certain foreign military, would we of won?
What do you think the French were doing at Yorktown? Fishing?
