I've read this comparison before - there's a few major points to note: Iraq was never part of the United States, Lincoln didn't go to war because was an abolitionist, we're squandering the concept of dignity with the prisoner abuse scandal and the use of contractors that we hired through the Dept. of Interior, as much as we talk about liberation many places are still without running water and electricity in Iraq, the explosion of violence in Falluja started right after Paul Bremer shut down an Iraqi-ran newspaper. I could go on and on... I think there is just as compelling of an argument that Bush is as incompetent as Andrew Johnson and his inability to successfully rebuild and reunite the country equitably after a decisive military victory.
