Juan Cole: Bonaparte to Bush
December 16, 2007
Napoleon in Egypt and George Bush in Iraq were book-end fiascos, Juan Cole argues--for neatly opposite reasons. Napoleon was too early in Egypt--before the Ottoman sick-man was ripe for dismemberment, before European arms could overwhelm native resistance. George Bush hit Iraq too late, Cole says, long after bullying colonialism's day was done. Open Source with John Lydon, December 14, 2007.Comments
