First, you have to consider that you are in error on many things.
Kennedy did not plan the Bay of Pigs, Eisenhower did.
Roosevelt did not start WWII, the Japanese declared war (and the Germans also), so we had to.
The Somalian, Bosnian and Korean were, and are, UN wars.
As for Woodrow Wilson, I think he got involved because the Germans were attacking American shipping.
The first troops into Vietnam were sent there by Eisenhower - I don't guess you went there because Republicans don't join up regularly.
The failed Eagle Claw Operation was due to equipment failure. Ronald Reagan's actions prior to becoming president to arrange release of American Hostages after the election was against the law.
You need to read up on Andrew Jackson, he fought in the War of 1812 and defeated the British at New Orleans with few losses of men. While a General in the Army, he fought in the Creek Wars, as did Abraham Lincoln. But he did not hate indians, he raised an Indian child in his home.
It would help you somewhat to understand what the devil you are talking about. You have been brainwashed by O'Reilly and Hannity and neither of those know their rights from their lefts.
So basically you are full of crap.

No need to explain. It happened and it's done with. Nothing we say or do to try and justify any of it will make a bit of difference. Anyway, hindsight is 20/20. I must say though, that WWI and WWII shouldn't be on that list. And to the person comparing FDR and Bush, what kind of comparison is that? Sure we were attacked, but if FDR responded like Bush did, we'd have attacked the Philipines or something back then. Maybe nobody has ever told you this, but none of the 9/11 people were from Iraq. I totally agreed with going into Afghanistan, because that made sense. It was just plain stupid to go into Iraq.

good points, the truth is Democrats don't care about the war in iraq or afganistan. All they care about is getting there leaders into office so they can have to big gov take care of them for the rest of there life. If it was a democratic presdent in charge during sept 11th they wouldent care about the wars at all.

From the posts here Liberals can't explain it. Maybe Dems are good at sending us to war, and Republicans are good at winning them. Lets come together now and win this current conflict.
The Socialists that are financing the leftist propaganda wheel do not care if your family is safe, please check it out do some research.

Is this the old Republican b.s. that Democrats get the U.S. into wars? It's been a long time since we've heard that particular whine from your crowd. How about concentrating on the quagmire dubya got us into?
