kendall,

If you are going to say
"WW 1 after the sinking of the Lusitania, the country was outraged and Wilson reluctantly declared war on Germany.
WW 2 you may be too young to remember, but Japan bombed Pearl Harbor"

then
The Civil war was started by the shelling of Ft. Sumpter
Spanish American warwas started by the explosion of the Maine

Let's be fair, here.

"In Korea, the North invaded the south; Truman responded as he was obligated to do as a member of the United Nations."

"Bush 1 sent our troops to Kuwait and eventually into Iraq." in response to our treaty obligations and the UN resolutions, as obligated to do as a memeber of the United Nations.

And "created the Taliban"??? Yes, the US supported them, during the Russian occupation. But created????
