Then you agree Truman did not abandon SK like Nixon/Ford did Vietnam and Reagan did Lebanon. Rather it was a mistake like the Bush I Admin's mistake in Iraq (actually two mistakes, first not making it clear to Hussein ahead of time that we would go to war over Kuwait and, second, not removing him from power, or at least isolating him, after thye First Gulf War).

In case my point isn't clear, I suggest you save the bashing for America's real enemies like AQ and the Enemy Media and the America-hating left. Truman was a good American. But being President is tough and even good Americans can make big mistakes. It's what they do after their mistakes that tells the tale.

But being President is tough and even good Americans can make big mistakes.

How true!

But, it's no coincidence that the Korean War is so neglected by school books.

It's time to let good Americans know the untold facts about that war.

It's a good thing to remind hypocritical Democrats that their president Truman "killed" as many Americans in one month in Korea as Bush "killed" in 4 years in Iraq.

It's a good thing to remind hypocritical Democrats that full wartime censorship was imposed under Truman during the Korean War, not under Bush during the Iraq War.

It's a good thing to remind Democrats that it was their president Truman who used the draft to send young men off to Korea, not President Bush who used the draft to send young men off to Iraq.

Presidents make mistakes, but it's unfair to accuse one president (Bush) of making mistakes that another President (Truman) was actually guilty of making.

Ten times as many men died in 30 months in Korea under Truman, as died in 30 months in Iraq under Bush.
