"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.
It is better for a Democrat to be at the helm if you need him to pursue a war strategy that would be considered a war crime under normal circumstances. Trust me -- they'll never be taken to task for it.
