“Analogies are only useful for a single point of comparison for illustrative purposes. ”

That’s true. I suppose I should back out of this discussion as gracefully as I can right about now, before I reveal how pedestrian and amateurish my knowledge of history is.

Cedarford twisted my original analogy (Saudi Arabia is like Spain), and so I decided to play along for some intellectual fun. I have to be careful not to swim outside my own intellectual depth, however.
