First, we didn't "turn" to Roosevelt to inter the japanese he was already president. A republican would have likely done the same thing.

Do you think a Republican would have gotten away with something like that?

Yes it was Democrats that got us into and escalated Vietnam, but it was Republicans that took care of Grenada, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Go back over the last 100 years and make a couple of comparisons: 1) the number of casualties the U.S. has suffered in wars in which U.S. involvement began under Democrats vs. Republicans, and 2) the moral outrage from supposedly "compassionate" liberals over wars in which U.S. involvement began under Democrats vs. Republicans.

I was responding to a post that implied that it is better for a Democrat to be at the helm in a war situation, therefore Kerry better than Bush. I rejected that idea with my response.
