ah, george?
Are you sure you're getting across the right message when you say Iraq should take courage from Hungary's history? Because Hungary is finally free after being under the Soviet Union's thumb for so long? At least from the twisted way I see things, it's easier to equate Soviet Union (large external power) with the US (large external power) than with one internal dictator, which I think is the comparison you're trying to draw.
Or are you simply so determined to bring everything back to your precious stupid war that you will take any opportunity to reference it, no matter how inappropriate or ungermane doing so is?
