DEJA VU?

DEJA VU IN 2007?
1.THE PARTY HAS A "VESTED INTEREST IN MILITARY FAILURE."

2."DEATH AND AGONY ARE FAMILIAR SHAPES."

3."THE DREAD OF EQUALITY DESTROYS UNITY."

4."THE EFFECT WAS OF A MILITARY SACRAMENT."

5."THE PRESIDENT CALLED FOR 500,000 MORE MEN."

6.THE WAR WAS IN ITS 4TH YEAR.

EXCEPT FOR #5, EACH STATEMENT LITERALLY PARALLELS A REALITY IN 1864 DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR.

1. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THEN, THE LIBERAL PARTY NOW CALLS FOR
'PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY.'
2. BY THE 1000'S THEN, BY SINGLE DIGITS NOW, THE FATALITIES ADD UP.
3. THE THOUGHT OF NEGROES EMANCIPATED AND GIVEN RACIAL EQUALITY DIVIDED THE COUNTRY INTO TWO AMERICAS, NORTH AND SOUTH IN 1864. SUNNI, SHITE AND KURDS DREAD A SHARED POLITICAL AND SOCIAL STATUS IN IRAQ. HERE AT HOME WE CALL THE OPPOSING PARTIES, THE RED AND BLUE STATES WHICH DEFY UNIFICATION.
4. LEE SURVEYED HIS TROOPS AND AN OBSERVER FELT IT WAS LIKE A (SACRAMENT), A PUBLIC ACT VIEWED AS A MEANS OF SERVING GOD. FOR A COMPARISON, RECALL THE FALL OF THE STATUE OF SADAAM HUSSEIN.
5. NO, OUR PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH HAS NOT CALLED FOR 500,000 MORE TROOPS, LIKE LINCOLN, BUT HIS SURGE HAS BROUGHT OUT PROTESTS TOO.
6. WILL 2007 BE THE TURNING POINT TOWARDS HOME IN THE IRAQ WAR ON TERROR PARALLELING THE FINAL CAMPAIGNS COMMENCING IN 1864?

THE CYCLICAL WHEELS OF WAR KEEP TURNING. TOO BAD NO GRANT, SHERMAN OR SHERIDAN IS ROLLING LIKE THUNDER TODAY.
