The narrative developed by Michael Moore that Iraqi "insurgents" were like American "minutemen" has been picked up by media sources like the AP. However, the narrative breaks down on close examination. And I don't remember Minutemen having slaughter houses and torture chambers.

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be;..."
