Mr. Washington Goes to Iraq

This is my latest editorial for Opeds.com, where I've been writing for 5 years. Thanks for tolerating my rants, guys!

Here Mr. Ellis compares American soldiers fighting for democracy in Iraq as the occupying British Redcoats of George Washington’s day. I could not disagree with this analogy more. It is the US who are the true insurgents of the Middle East, attempting to emplace the concept of liberty for those who have long known only tyranny and oppression. The Father of our Country, therefore, would not view America’s brilliant and bravest as conquerors attempting to uphold an alien way of life, but as liberators answering everyone’s deep desire for freedom.
