It's actually the opposite. The VAST majority of wars and armed conflict have happened during Democratic administrations. In fact the only 3 major foreign engagements to have started under Republican auspices happened during the term of presidents named Bush. In fact the only two presidents since WW2 to not have any significant foreign engagements or brushfire wars during their terms were both Republican (Eisenhower and Ford). Clinton bombed more countries than either Bush did and fought more brushfire wars with US forces than Reagan. > > I like you guys a whole lot more when you aren't shooting at everything that > pisses you off. > I'll take a Democrat president any day of the week. > > William Robb If you don't want the US shooting at stuff, support Republican presidents not named Bush. -- M.
