Subject: History: Accident or Coincidence?

Before Bill Clinton, only four Democratic presidents since 1900 had served more
than one term in office: Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and
Lyndon Johnson. Each of them initiated American involvement in the four major
wars of this century: World War I World War II, and the Korean and Vietnam
conflicts.
Four presidents. Four wars. Total American dead: 616,000.
Over the years, various Republicans have been ridiculed for noting this Democrat-
war connection. But those Republicans had a point. During the first 92 years of
this century, there were five multi-term Republican presidents, and Republicans
held the White House for a total of 56 years, or 61% of that period. Not one of
them started a major war (as measured by the number of Americans killed). Is
there in fact something about Democrats that makes them more likely to start
wars? Of course, there is.
The most important common trait is that all these Democrats had the support of
and were beholden to powerful internationals. These internationals were on
record as desiring war, for the purpose of creating in America a climate favorable
toward world government. Thus, following the tragedy of America's involvement in
World War I, Woodrow ("He Kept Us Out of War") Wilson proposed the League of
Nations--the first effort to press our country into world government. And all
thorough the 1940's the Roosevelt Administration promoted the idea of the United
Nations. Wars always seem to promote the agenda of those who preach that only
through international government can wars be averted.
Next, all four war leaders shared a belief in centralized rule and the aggressive
use of executive power. So it is not surprising that Woodrow Wilson, who enacted
the federal income tax and created the Federal Reserve System, also promoted
the Great War's grand crusade for democracy. And FDR, who radically extended
federal power and cynically tried to pack the Supreme Court, is now known to have
seen World War II as a means to end the nation's economic problems. Historians
now say that FDR also allowed America to be "surprised" by the Japanese at
Pearl Harbor, in order to rouse a public that was anti-war.
Then came Harry Truman, who fought for wage, price, and rent controls. Truman
allowed our military to fall into disrepair, despite a clear communist threat from the
Soviet Union and China. Truman seemed surprised by North Korea's invasion of
South Korea in 1950. And Lyndon Johnson, who rammed his expansive Great
Society program through Congress in 1964-65, simultaneously increased
American military involvement in Vietnam.
In recent deacdes, it has become clear that these same internationalists back
Republicans. Republican wars in the 20th century have killed far fewer Americans
(witness the Gulf War, where American deaths were measured in the hundreds).
However, the deaths of Iraqi civilians and the brutality of that war were
comparable to anything the Democrats could have dreamed up.
And Republicans seem to be masters of embargo and sanctions that simply
starve other countries into submission, as was the case with Rhodesia, South
Africa, and Iraq. The last two Republican administrations have also bombed
Libya, Grenada, Panama and Iraq, with enormous unjustifiable loss of human life.
At one time, there may actually have been a difference between the parties. More
recent Republican administrations, however, have been every bit as much under
the influence and control of International Warmakers as have been the
Democrats.
America's Founders understood that dictators by their very nature make war. How
right they were.
