<She (Rice) also likened Iraq's struggle with democracy to America's civil rights movement>
If........
In 1965, the Muslim world was united in a New Califate that was far stronger, militarily and economically, than the U.S.
This Muslim Superpower decided that conditions in the U.S. South violated basic standards of civilization and human rights, so they had a moral duty to intervene. The long history of lynchings, and unpunished KKK crimes, for almost a century, convinced the public in the Califate to support Operation American Freedom.
An army of 800,000 or so Nigerians, Iraqis, and Pakistanis, backed up by overwhelming military power, occupied the U.S. South, from Virginia to Texas (oil in Texas and Oklahoma was to be controlled by the Occupation Authority, to pay for the plan to bring democracy and civil rights to the Occupied South.)
If the above had happened, that would be a good analogy with what we're doing now in Iraq. |
