The Dany storyline is pretty much explicitly about Iraq, and the whole idea of liberal intervention.  and by "explicitly" I mean "clumsily".

No-one dies in their POV episodes, except one-off redshirts.  And Catlyn, but she comes back.

Yeah, once you know Abercrombie is doing Unforgiven (OK, meets Deadwood meets the Searchers meets Meeks Crossing meets every other Western) it's pretty obvious who'll be the William Munny figure
