Yeah, I have to admit that all of the names came off the top of my head, and I didn't check them for accuracy.

The point I had hoped to make is that US Presidents, for the most part, didn't "start" most of those wars.

In fact, the two World Wars were being contested long before we joined them.

We finished them, though -- helping our allies.

We won both World Wars with a dem in charge. Think about that. The whole planet went ape shit at the same time, twice, and no battles on U.S. soil. Perl harbor was a sneak attack, not a battle, if you were gonna try to call me out. The point is, the entire world was killing each other, there was battle everywhere, but not here. that is pretty safe.

Ahem... minor correction - the Japanese invaded the Aleutian Islands in 1942 - the only piece of the North American continent taken by the Japanese. Not to forget the German U-boat sinkings of merchant ships within sight of the U.S. mainland. The Japanese flew unmanned firebomb balloons that were supposed to land within the continental United States and burn the forests of the Pacific Northwest; only a few did accomplish their mission.

Technically, while Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines were territories of the United States, they were very much U.S. soil at the time. Granted, there were no battles that took place in the Continental U.S.

Okay fine, but we still kicked their asses back to their own island and off our terrorities, and after the intial invasion were beaten back, its not like the held on to them for very long, otherwise it would have been taught to me in my overly nationalistic elementrary school.

In my opinion, the man in office is more important than the political affiliation of the president. With that being said, I am def. happy that Pres. Bush was the commander and chief. Gore is an unstable man, which he displayed so well in his speech given a few weeks ago. For crying out loud he made Dean's I have a scream speech seem normal. Over the past few years Gore has def. become a raving liberal (after all he endorsed Dean). Bush deserves a little more credit from the American public for serving as president under very difficult times. Pres. Clinton's two terms were mild in comparison to Bush's (Come on, Clinton had enough spare time to get blowjobs from a lousy slut).
