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. (they were allies. We had to fight both.)

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. (that was an immoral war. But how does that justify another one?)

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 5800 per year. (true. and Johnson did it under a fake attack against the US, just like Bush Jr. and Iran)

Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent. Bosnia never attacked us. (he stopped a genocide and it WAS with a UN peacekeeping force. Clueless writer.) 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. (we aren’t in the business of murder no matter what he wants to say.)

In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, (have you seen the headlines lately? The Taliban is making a huge comeback) crippled Al-Qaida (true, but they did bomb London and Madrid), put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea (I believe that was the UN, which was alos the UN that said Iraq had no weapons. You can’t have it both ways) without firing a shot and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers,(that’s over 2000 now with no end is sight. But why lose any at all? He had to lie to get us into war. How is that justified?) an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.

tanyakristine, wow, like that's nice fence straddling. Like, is that like your position inside the parantheses (or is it like, outside the parentheses)?
