Not that there has to be an exact comparison to a US President. Lincoln only played the slavery card as a political tool to keep the Confederates from being recognized by European powers. And it took him almost two years to do it. It then took off into the war to free the slaves, and even at the time most Northerners really weren't on board with that. Lincoln's first and foremost goal was always to preserve the Union.<br /><br /> Dany has been completely anti-slavery from day one. Dany isn't using her crusade against slavery to make friends, in fact it is alienating more people than bringing her allies. Except for the Lhazareen. She's got the Lamb People. claudiusthefoolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-43933837027311930882015-01-25T11:34:04.698+01:002015-01-25T11:34:04.698+01:00Could you rephrase that question a bit?

What's happening in Slaver's Bay now is what happened with Eroeh writ on a much larger scale. Likely she will "win" but with a very high cost that will take generations to pay back. But that's true of Abraham Lincoln too, we're still paying back that cost today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-3107949169435618112015-01-24T01:30:02.567+01:002015-01-24T01:30:02.567+01:00I think a lot of the anti-Dany fans are making an ...I think a lot of the anti-Dany fans are making an analogy with the wrong American president. To them she is George W. Bush invading Iraq, using his overwhelming military might to spread neo-liberal capitalism. And given the era in which the books appeared this is not unreasonable. However I think she is much more Abraham Lincoln than GWB and is fighting to destroy slavery.<br /><br />PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-63213720328900519312015-01-24T00:10:53.514+01:002015-01-24T00:10:53.514+01:00Hi guys!

I imagine the conversation being incredibly supportive of Dany's cause despite the small folk casualties that this will cause. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
