(Wilson) quickly emerged as a skilled wartime leader by molding public opinion with such optimistic phrases as “a war to make the world safe for democracy” and “a war to end all wars.”
Nothing Wilsonian?
LOL, Ivan ..... not even nice (defensive) try!
You're bandying about quotes from Wilson without even thinking about the historical context. In Wilson's day, as the phenomenon of terrorism was unknown in America, despotism abroad, for the most part, was not a problem in Main Street USA. Now despotic rulers, despotic ideas are a proven, direct threat to the USA. Ask the victims of September 11th, if you don't believe me.
President Bush understands this. It's just a pity that there are still a gaggle of idiots who refuse to understand.
