re: #155 calcajun

those are all the dead guys from the 19th century.

In all fairness, some of the “leaders” of this country before 1860 were miserable failures—any one with sense saw the train wreck that was coming and they compromised and made deals, all the while ignoring the looming storm. Pierce and Buchanan are probably two of the worst ones we ever had.

Then, there is the George W. Bush of his day, James K. Polk. There is no doubt that he picked a fight with Mexico solely for the chance to expand the US westward. That’s not revisionism, either.

I’m curious, do you believe that GW Bush picked a fight with Iraq to expand the US?
