In the case of the Revolution, I frankly don't think the Americans would've won without Washington at the helm.

Here's my take on that. Washington brought discipline to the battles and persistence; so, he was keenly involved in how the war unfolded. He deserves very great credit and we call him the Father of Our Country with good reason.

But, America would have won the War For Independence no matter what; because, the war England was prosecuting was unwinable--it only could be lost by them. Similar to the war being fought in Iraq at present. It cannot be won without killing everyone off. Even several nuclear bombs that would end all the hostilities would not end the war. This war that has been activated in the Middle East is about cultures that have come into confrontation. And, it will continue as long as the parties will not come to terms. Bush made the major error of America's history. He will go down in history in infamy. You will see that unfold in your lifetime. He won't even be able to spend his declining years in the U.S.A.
