Didn't Kennedy take the US into Vietnam (in effect)? Also, FDR took the US into WW2 and Wilson into WW1. Again both Democrats.
The Republicans took the US into Korea and Iraq twice.0 -

I have worked in several 3rd world counties. The majority of the citizens from any of them would give their right (and probably left) arm to live in the UK, credit crunch or not.
Seeing dead bodies on the side of the road puts any problems I might have into perspective.
In Malaysia here is such an influx of people from vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines, Napal, Cambodia etc because the standard of life in Malaysia is better than where they are from.
One thing I will never understand though is their morbid desire to see deaths on the road.
They don't just slow down, they park up and crouwd round an accident.
I once even saw people running accross 5 lanes of traffic in torrential rain to get to the other side where there had been a car accident resulting in death.
