Que conselhos, George Washington poderia ter dado à administração Bush sobre a intervenção no Iraque? Vejam o artigo no washingtonpost.com: Lessons on Iraq From a Founding Father e estes excertos aqui:
"On Sept. 14, 1775, Washington wrote two letters to Col. Benedict Arnold, who led an American force into Canada. Five of Washington's points for invasion merit particular attention
¿ First, if the citizens don't want us there, don't go. Washington told
Arnold, ...;
¿ Second, the safety of American personnel depended on
how they treated people...;
¿ Third, proper treatment of prisoners was
necessary...;
¿ Fourth, any Americans who mistreated Canadians should
be punished...;
¿ Fifth, respect the people's religion..."
Enfim, nada que um, qualquer, político competente, não devesse saber.
