sissies! It is popular fodder for Republicans to portray Democrats (or anyone else who rubs their fur the wrong way) as a bunch of wimps. Well, let's take a brief look at history over the last century....... World War I-Prosecuted by the administration of Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat. The first truly mechanized war, and the first widespread use of chemical weapons in war. The USA and its allies were ultimately victorious, but things soon turned ugly. Wilson's failed attempts to secure a lasting postwar peace led to a complete destruction of his health. Widespread postwar unemployment and a health care system strained to its limits by a pandemic spread by returning troops made victory bittersweet. World War II-Prosecuted by the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a Democrat. The most complete military victory in American history led to the emergence of the USA as a superpower, and the pent-up demand for long-rationed consumer goods led to a booming economy as well. But victory came at a heavy price....A quater of a million US lives lost, and a postwar world enormously complicated by the development and deployment of atomic weapons. Korean Conflict-Prosecuted by the administration of Harry S. Truman, a Democrat. Although some of the same brilliant strategists who engineered the victory in WWII were involved in this conflict (including Douglas MacArthur for a time), The best the US and its allies were able to accomplish in two years of fighting was a draw....Not good for a military action that claimed at least 32,000 American lives. Vietnam Conflict-Prosecuted by the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat. This war became so unpopular that Johnson was forced to give up his bid to serve the longest period of any post WWII president. By 1968, the nation was the most divided it had been since the Civil War. Richard Nixon, Johnson's White House Descendant, fared little better with the war effort and finally called it quits in 1973 after 55,000 American lives had been lost. It should be noted that many high-ranking officials of the current Bush administration came of age during the Vietnam involvement. Most of them, including the President himself, received student deferments and/or National Guard appointments and did not play a combat role in this conflict. Desert Storm-Prosecuted by the administration of George H.W. Bush, a Republican. Mission accomplished.....light casualties and total victory over the enemy in a popular and patriotic war. Sounds like a home run, right? That's what the Republicans thought, too....Until voters sent Bush packing in favor of Republican arch-enemy Bill Clinton, making Bush the first single-term Republican president since Herbert Hoover. It can be seen that the outcome and aftermath of these conflicts is definitely a mixed bag, and that most of them were prosecuted by Democratic administrations. Does the current Democratic skittishness about the Iraq war mean that they are just sissies and wimps-or could it be that it is because the Democrats have learned some awful truths about the social and political costs of waging modern warfare that the Republicans have yet to learn? -Scott - |

Well, let's take a brief look at history over the last century....... No, lets don't. The Dem/Repub debate weirdnesses have taken on a totally new character in recent years. 'Pubs want to blow the enemies off the face of the earth come hell or high water and scoot it under legal and public scrutiny while Dems....well, Dems haven't offered anything except a whiney campaign about how the Pubs are doing it all wrong. I'd rather be in a trench with a 'pub when the bullets are flying. I wonder if those folks scurrying out of the WTC would have been prone to wave a partisan flag before they died? Party politics didn't result in their death. Nutters from another part of the planet caused their demise. I say deal with the nutters rather than each other. -Bill |
