angeloffaith777: I asked about "U.S. history." Hitler was not a U.S. citizen. I guess you didn't know that, since it's not in the bible.

I'm guessing, that using your own criteria - it would be Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the Confederacy's splitting off from the US during the Civil War. More than 600,000 people died in that war, which freed the slaves and saved the Union. It wasn't pretty, and a lot of it was slaughter of great, brave, valiant soldiers, but it helped to save this nation. If George W. Bush were a mass murderer, as you contend, it's too bad that you weren't on his list...

Evidently, given your criterion, which appears to be a President of the United States fighting an enemy who has posed a clear and present danger to our nation, that would have to be Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND Americans died in Mr. Roosevelt's war. Of the enemy, 4.2 million Germans, 2.3 million Japanese, and about 1.7 million of the other Axis countries (of course Mr. Roosevelt can't be held accountable for all of these murders, he had help from our allies). George Bush is a piker by comparison.
And before anybody cries that the war in Iraq was "unprovoked" unlike World War II, I will tell you that the only country that ever attacked us was Japan. Our war against Germany and Italy was "unprovoked." So by the standard of those fools who call the war in Iraq an "illegal" war, our war against Germany and Italy was just as "Illegal."

Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His authorization for the indiscriminate fire bombing of cities in Germany and Japan which were of no military importance was criminal in the extreme. The bombings were conducted for no other purpose than to terrorize and demoralize the population. He has the blood of millions on his hands.

You are. Murdering minutes of your life with insults shows ignorance. An obvious answer is as obvious as the reason the question was asked. Insulting any president in this forum is uncalled for.

If you think going to war with Germany in 1941 was unprovoked and illegal, you my friend are a moron. If there was ever a people that had it coming to them...
Oh i get it...you were being sarcastic. Mea Culpa!

In US history? That would be the Oklahoma city bombing. 168 dead.
Bush has that number beat, hands down!
