Hmmm.
This seems just a little too much. All the wars the U.S. participated in were unnecessary? Immoral? Still, it kind of makes Bush look okay(by making all other war presidents look bad). It also makes me bring up a question I've had for a while. Would the people of Mexico today be (better off/worse off/the same) if the U. S. had continued to pursue territorial gain all the way to the Isthmus of Panama?

Yeah...I think this guy is cherry picking a few facts and guessing at some others. There is some truth sprinkled in there though, like Lincoln stretching the Constitution for wartime needs.
I remember listening to conservative radio from '95-2000 (because that's what played at my job at the time). Roosevelt is considered Satan to them, and one of their big reasons is that he supposedly let Pearl Harbor happen. I don't think we will ever have evidence one way or the other. From what I read, they were expecting an attack, but not at Pearl Harbor.
Regardless, it's easy to have 20/20 vision in hindsight.
