Yup, invading Iraq to try out the Repug "nation building" skills and our Civil War...Sure, there is a connection... And then the rest of your silly gibberish... The world is changing and we are all part of it, like it or not. There is no more 'over there' any more, as cultures have clashed and meshed. Look around you. This trend is going to rapidly continue to escallate until we are an almost indistinguishable culture of world society. Its time for us all to lift up our heads and stand up for the kind of society we want for our selves and our progeny. Separate and isolated little realms is no longer an option. We can all focus on the common good of humanity and walk into the future of a better world together. But we have to be standing upright to do that.

Maybe you could draw a parallel by comparing the American Indian tribes to the tribes in Iraq. Seems the indians were in the middle of it, but came out on the short end of the stick. Other than that I don't see any similarity between the colonist and Iraq citizens. As for the Civil war, I don't recall any country jumping in the middle of it, but I think attempts were made to draw them in. The world isn't our oyster, to do as we will. It'll never be that small.
