You mean, of course, all the wars abroad that were called wars. Right?

And 2 that weren't called wars.

Are you going to try to compare Granada with Vietnam and Korea?

I must say, your "reads" on history are amusing, including your
recitation of the plot of the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora," (one of my
favorites), and your assertion that all the wars of the 20th century in
which the U.S. was directly involved were somehow the fault of
presidents of the Democratic Party. Perhaps that sort of thinking is the
result of reading a book or two without the discipline imposed by formal
instruction, reading lists, and intensive discussion one might find in
decent, college-level, liberal arts courses, eh?

I recall a college-level class in German in which someone posited that
the reason Germany had been involved in so many horrific wars, including
WWII, had *only* to do with that nation's desire to extend its geography
to "protect" German nationals in other countries, and to create a buffer
for the homeland. Well, of course, that was hogwash, and fellow was
hooted in class for the day. I think it might have been the instructor
who said that, actually. He was a German ex-pat, and though he was far
too young to have been involved in WWII, he apparently took some of what
Hitler had "speechified" to heart.

In any event, I enjoy your dissertations...for a while, anyway.

You never pointed out anything I said that was not true.

Oh, really? Gosh. Well, then, let's post an example that shoots your
comment about U.S. wars in the 20th Century/Democratic presidents to
hell in a handbasket.

How about...the *first* Gulf War, kinda planned in the Reagan
misadministration and planned for real and executed in the G. H. W. Bush
administration.

Your perspectives on history lack...perspective.

Reagan planned the Gulf War, 3 years before Saddam invaded Kuwait?
Do tell.
You guys really have to get your story straight. I have no problem
finding plenty of articles from liberals complaining that the Reagan
administration was too friendly to Saddam. That was a move started by
the Carter administration and by Zbigniew Brzezinski in particular.

How many Americans died in the first gulf war?

Are you really going to compare that to Vietnam or Korea, both
unnecessary wars and we lost both.

Oh, wait, you libertarians believe Reagan and Bush were
Democrats, right?

Yes we do believe there was very little difference between GHWB and
the democrats.

Actually, Korea is not lost. Is still going on. Still meetings in
Panmunjom I think.
