American History Lessons - Part II
Remember this speech segment by Rob Ford during the council meeting just before they stripped him of most of his powers?
Not quite! Kuwait was a rather innocent neighbour of a tyrant-led Iraq. With the shoe on the other foot Ford is mixing up his analogy and I don't see much of a coalition coming to his aid. Ford's bravado and hubris, not as convincing when read word-for-word from a script, reminds me of Saddam's delusional promise to wage "The Mother of all Wars" before scrambling into a hole to hide. If only this could be over as quick! 
This, folks, reminds me of when ... Saddam (Hussein) attacked Kuwait. And President (George) Bush said, 'I warn you, I warn you, I warn you do not attack.' Well, folks. If you think American-style politics is nasty, you guys have just attacked Kuwait,
