Nothing New Under the Third Sun of Caprica

In another article below, SPQW, I pointed out the remarkable similarities between the insurgents of the early United States of America, throwing out a hated imperial power, and the current situation in Iraq. I think we can only congratulate the script writers of Battlestar Galactica for following a similar line of thought, with the hated Cylons playing the US Government, and the remarkably-American sounding humans, playing the Iraqi insurgents. Very, very brave indeed. My hat is doffed.
