good point

The US was attacked by Japan, yet we then went after Germany even though there were no Japanse in Germany.

You may be on to something there SW. It's been a while since we added a state to our union, why not Iraq? We could build a few fake towns complete with cafés, school buses, and populated with mannequins. Then the terrorists could attack the USofA and no one gets hurt, win/win.   :aok

Yeah... that's the true indication of friendship.

We've never attacked a country that has a McDonalds.

So Nash, where does LBJ rank in your view?  

His war killied millions of vietnamese and some 60,000 americans. Not to mention that it devided the nation far more than Iraq...

I rank LBJ in the same category as I rank Ford....

Almost, like, President by way of happenstance...

Not like they weren't important in their own way, but history will go way lighter on them... A different thing. It doesn't really even count.

LBJ didn't just take over the presidency.  He also won "re-election" in one of the largest electoral landslides ever in 1964.  That election likewise filled Congress with an overwhelming Democratic majority and fit the truest definition of a presidential "mandate" that you'll find anywhere.  There's just no comparing him to Ford.

So you rank Bush as the most terrible President in US history, yet Johnson was okay?

"History" in your view is shallow. You do not seem to grasp the big picture about anything.

If you would have been around during Vietnam, you would have probably said that it was the worst war in the history of man....and you would have been wrong AGAIN.

Nash, please go to bed and get some rest. I hate to see you looking so much like a retard.

LBJ wins re-election a mere year after a beloved president gets killed. To you, there is no happenstance involved. People were jazzed about LBJ all along.

I think history will record it differently. LBJ, like Ford, were presidents that.... fit in-between things....

Of the two, LBJ had quite an impact.... however....

You can't equate LBJ to Bush in almost any way. Certainly history will record them differently. LBJ *inherited*. Presidents after Bush will *inherit*.
