I think you're interpreting that statement in a way that is most favorable to your argument, IMHO. I think he is simply stating that from the perspective of the Iraqis they are no different than our own revolutionaries. Just like the Minutemen of 1775 they are fighting for the liberty of their society. According to his interpretation. I think it's disingenous to assume Moore must be a traitor for his somewhat overblown quotes; to assume that will cloud one's analysis.
