We have been carrying the Central Americas for the past 30 years.....period. They are so screwed up down there, we can't possibly fix it, only train them. That's not war, that's called an "on-going mission". As far as WWII, I didn't say that all Democratic leaders failed, just that most of our failures were under Democratic leaders (i.e. Johnson, Carter, Clinton). Clinton sent us into more redundent places than any other leader, EVER! We're talin' major campaigns too, not a special mission here and there.
