Not counting GW Bush, who is the worst mass murderer in U.S. history?

Answer 1

Bush wouldn't even make the top 1000.. It's Stalin number one.

Answer 2

George Walker Bush may be a mass murdered, but he is certainly not the worst in the world. Perhaps in the United States.

Adolf Hitler or Stalin is probably the worst mass murderer in the world, but you are speaking of United States history, so those do not qualify.

Lyndon B. Johnson, the President after John Fitzgerald Kennedy, may qualify. Johnson started the Vietnam war.

Answer 3

Bush hasn't murdered anyone. And I'm not sure I can think of really anyone who has in U.S. history. There was one guy in the news recently who said he killed 48 people over the last 30 years. So maybe him. Or Whitey Bulger. The only other thing that comes to mind is the Boston Massacre, where Americans-to-be were killed by the British. And you are referring to any war, you realize that doesn't actually fit the definition of murder, either for action (such as Iraq) or inaction (such as Clinton letting children starve etc)

Answer 4

there WERE no U.S. mass murderers. The atomic bombs were a necessary evil in a time of WORLD WAR to prevent MILLIONS from dying thank you VERY much and GW Bush can NOT be compared to an international world murder as opposed to millions dead under rulers over world history, learn and read.

Answer 5

I dislike Bush as much as, if not more than, the next guy but as far as Genocide...I'd have to go with Hitler (WWI) 405,500 American soilders died....although the Civil War did kill 600,000 americans (Abraham Lincoln), while the Vietnam War killed 58,000 american soilders (Lyndon Johnson)

GWB loves war and death as long as he is not doing the fighting, his followers support him 100% just like they would have supported Hitler.

George Bush the elder with his golf war and the sanction he put in place against Iraq and saddam are responsable for it.

GWB killing of iraqi children continues with his Iraq war.

Answer 10

Harry S Truman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki

"... it is estimated that by December 1945, as many as 140,000 had died in Hiroshima by the bomb and its associated effects. In Nagasaki, roughly 74,000 people died of the bomb and its aftereffects with the death toll from two bombings around 214,000 people.
...
In Japan, the general public tends to think that the bombings were unnecessary, as the preparation for the surrender was in progress in Tokyo."
