>>Rambam waxes about 200+
years of Jewish independence, and  therefore we say Hallel.

My Rav Kookish rabbi said, "150+ of those years  were Tzadukim, and yet
we celebrate Jewish independence!" (Notice the  connection to today's
rulers?)<<

>>>>>
If the  "Jewish independence" had been merely political independence, we 
would not have  continued to celebrate Chanuka after Churban Bais  Hamikdash.
