Bartleby and War?

So after reading this week's assigned blog, I began to question how Bartleby was connected to the war. After thinking for a while only one possible connection came to me. The owner of the scrivener's office tried to help Bartleby as much as he could. He offered him money, he offered him a place to stay, he tried to give him his job back, and he tried to get him good meals while he was in jail. This like the USA in Iraq. We are trying to set up their government, provide aide, and prevent the problems from happening.I feel that this is the only way that the two could be connected.
