#2 We tend to forget what made George Washington so revered in the early days of the nation. It wasn't his military leadership during the Revolution nor his presidency, so much as the fact that he willingly gave up power and retired from office after 2 terms.

It would be a huge step for the Iraqis if this sitting PM were to step down after losing re-election, and Allawi were able to form a government.

#3 King George III asked his American painter, Benjamin West, what Washington would do after winning independence. West replied, They say he will return to his farm.
