Foreword, when is a homeland not a homeland?

[s~Z]

>>>Of course P. might be alluding to Goebbels: his rhetoric is not
dissimilar to Bush's here, even if you insist that the situations are
quite different. However, Bush's use of the term "homeland" might, as I
suggested before, have more resonance with contemporary readers. And
then again, maybe not.<<<

Why is it preferable to read the passage as an allusion to Bush as opposed
to a general statement about what happens in any country when the homeland
is attacked? Granted the word 'homeland' is in our faces after 9/11, but why
would a gifted writer use 'bombs falling' if he wants to make a point about
9/11? Why would he use Churchill as an example instead of Bush? I don't for
a minute interpret the passage as an allusion to Goebbels. That speech just
shows the universality of the dynamic TRP is writing about in the paragraph.
And what better example than a fascistical speech. For me, the "9/11
allusion reading" is too limiting to what TRP is addressing.
