Holy cow, I'm still alive/motivation to write

Been way too long. I promise to write regularly.
What brings me back? Well, a friend said her teacher said Republicans start wars. A public school teacher and a Democrat at that. I'm not a fan of either wing of the one party we have, but I am a fan of truth.
The only wars that were started by Republicans was the one in Afghanistan and the second Iraq war. Democrats brought us into World War I, World War II (FDR was calling for war before Pearl Harbor), The Bay of Pigs, Vietnam (do I need to remind you of the anti-Goldwater nuclear ad? How's hat for interventionism?), the bombing of Iraq during the 90's, Kosovo/Bosnia, Somalia, and they're talking about intervention in Darfur. Oh, and Clinton/Obama say that all options are on the table regarding Iran.
Korea was a UN war. The US elected a Republican to get us out of the war. The Gulf War was also a multi-national war.
I'm betting this teacher liked Lincoln's unjust war, though. Leave it to liberals working in a government school to tell lies while supporting the same blood thirsty endeavors neocons do.
