Does That Make Them Islamoconfederates Now?
Secretary of State is drawing a parallel between the Iraq war and the Civil War. Both had their critics but both were justified, she says.

Doe that mean that the government will shortly be arresting John Murtha and Russ Feingold as was done to Clement Vallandigham for uttering “disloyal” statements? Does Secretary Rice intend to emphasise the aggressive and illegal nature of both wars by comparing them? I would guess not. But Rice, a “student of history” by her own frequent admission, just couldn’t stop:
Rice, a former academic, said she spent the summer reading biographies of the Founding Fathers and said she was certain “there were people who thought the Declaration of Independence was a mistake” as well.
Is she certain? Really? I suppose the Loyalists attacked by mobs, murdered, driven into exile and their property confiscated might have taken a dim view of the Declaration and what it stood for, yes, indeed. But you have to have a few birth pangs, don’t you?
