Nice try.

Like I said, it was just a thought.
Maybe that's why people feel safer with the Republicans then, because they aren't the ones going around starting the majority of the wars. I don't know. I would think that most people are probably going to base the answer to this question on their political affiliation.
As I mentioned in my original post, I don't have much experience of being around with all these wars going on. I base my preference only on what I know. I don't think I could sit here and say that I agree or disagree with what went on in, for example, Vietnam, because I wasn't alive during that time and I didn't experience a lot of the things most of the people did then. What you learn in history class is not necessarily the same as being there and experiencing it.
I know that I have a pretty strong opinion about the recent war, and since it was started by a Republican, I don't feel safe with a Republican in office.
ETA: If I had been alive during Vietnam, I probably would have been out there with the best of them, protesting the war. As I mentioned, I do not believe in war. And if a Democrat were in office right now, and they had started this war, I would be screaming for a replacement. Although the replacement would have to be another Democrat, of course.
