Thanks,
It is accurate ... or do you think we didn't kill millions of
civilians in the "good war".

I am not really defending Cheney, only pointing out he did what we do
when we engage in wars.

How many civilians do you figure we killed when we were enforcing
Clinton's "no fly zones". The Iraqis say it approached 50,000, we say
it was 10% of that, still a big number.

FDR, Truman and Churchill did not lie us into WW II.

There were plenty of lies in the run up to WWII.

Yeah, we attacked ourselves in Pearl Harbor and ran our blitzkriegs in Europe.

Japan was forced in to war with the USA. We embargoed all oil from them.
They were already in a nasty war in China, but FDR forced them to war with
us. We violated lots of the neutrality rules in helping Europe/Russia.

There were/was other avenues to resolution than war. They weren't
"forced" into war, that's the approach they CHOSE.

They were forced in to war with us!

No one in the U.S. government forced the Japanese to attack Pearl
Harbor. Further, Japan attacked while it was engaged in negotiations
with us. No one in our government forced that on the Japanese, either.
