Notice who's missing from the list?
Bombings
Did you catch it? Which US President is NOT represented in the list above?
Give up?
The much maligned Jimmy Carter, pretty much the ONLY President in the last century who didn't bomb anybody.
Jimmy Carter was the closest thing to a decent man we've had in the White House in quite some time. Anyone who runs him down should be ashamed of themselves.
The USA has bombed the following nations since the end of WW2. (Original from Australian Options Quarterly No. 31, Summer 2002.)
China 1945-46
Korea 1950-53
China 1950-53

Worst president ever, also the worst ex-president ever. The small "p" is intentional--he does not deserve the capital. Oh, and I am not ashamed. I like the rest of your website!
