PRESIDENTS AND WARS
FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per year.
John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 30 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.
Worst president in history? Come on!

I guess you are going to say the Democrats. I am not brushed up on my history, so I won't dispute you. I mean, I know that FDR was the guy for WWII, but I'm not sure on the others.
However, I have to say "so what"?
Most wars were based on truths and known facts.
There is one war that occurred recently that was based on lies and manipulation. Oh, wait, we are still in the middle of that war, possibly for the next 20 years.

Democrats. Democrats led us in WWI, WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam, yet right-wing nuts keep saying they're anti-war, soft, etc. It's a lie.
