2. It's full of half-truths
Edited on Fri Mar-04-05 09:43 PM by in search of sanity
It must be written by repugs.

For example, it says that Germany did not attack us. Actually Germany declared war on us after we declared war on Japan, following Pearl Harbor. Kind of an important detail on how we got into the Eurpoean part of WW II, don't you think?

North Korea invaded South Korea -- this was the start of the Korean War is my recollection. The US came to the aid of a country that was being invaded by China. Iraq was not invaded by a larger country. I don't see how this can be compared to Bush's warmongering.

The troops sent to Bosnia were part of NATO forces and used to prevent genocide. The intervention was far more limited than Bush's invasion of two countries.

As for Bush's claim to have liberated two countries, war and chaos are not the same as liberation.

Sickening how things get twisted.
