He was born of a rich and privileged family. His father was also a prominent politician, his mother was an eccentric and well-loved figure. Unlike his predecessor he had a stable marriage. His children however attracted scandal and caused him embarrassment. He did poorly at school. Many people considered him a buffoon and a warmonger. He was accused of racism. Against the advice of many in his government he dragged his country into a war. He used suspect intelligence and outright propaganda to justify going to war against a dangerous tyrant, spurning suggestions to continue a dialogue or seek a diplomatic solution. The war dragged on a long time, costing the country dearly in blood and money. He was voted out of office before the war ended.

It's not Churchill! England entered WWII on September 3, 1939. Churchill became Prime Minister in May of 1940, thus it would be incredible inaccuate to say he dragged his country into a war.

It can't be Churchill because he was not prime minister when Britain entered WWII 2 days after of the German invasion of Poland. I think it's Bush and wishful thinking, though the senate may yet vote him out of office.

There are so many world leaders both historically and currently that this could fit!!
Isn't it unfortunate that we are condemned to repeat the same mistakes since we are too proud to learn from history??
