Generally, when a democratic nation changes leaders in
the middle of a war, that nation will surrender or
otherwise lose the war (Russia in WWI, US in Vietnam,
USSR in Afghanistan, France in WWII, etc). Therefore,
I think it is highly relevant, despite the degree to
which some list members dislike the Bush administration.
