so bush has declared himself a "war president"
is that supposed to be a good thing? is he trying to liken himself to truman or wilson? now they were some great war presidents.
the difference here is that they didn't choose to be war presidents, they chose to be productive. wilson had nothing to do with the formation of his war, the rest of the world sort of did all the work there. wilson used this time to come up with numerous productive policies including the formation of the original league of nations. truman came in in the middle of a war and was active in the signing of the UN charter to ensure world peace.
bush, however, came in during a fairly peaceful period of american history and chose to go out and destroy, and now we're in a load of trouble for it.
so yeah, there have been some great war presidents, but i'd prefer if bush didn't compare himself to them, he's ruining their reps.
