That article is filled with inaccuracies and omissions. "Germany never attacked us: Japan did." This is intended to somehow imply that Japan attacked us, and then we attacked Germany. The perpetrators of this falsehood are trying to draw an analogy to al qaeda attacking us, and then Bush invading Iraq. However, Germany declared war on America on Dec 11th, 1941, four days after Pearl Harbor. This is an error of omission. "On the morning of December 11 the Government of Germany, pursuing the course of world conquest, declared war on the United States ... I therefore request the Congress to recognize a state of war between the United States and Germany." FDR Dec 11, 1941. "North Korea never attacked us." North Korea attacked South Korea on June 25, 1950. Two days later, the U.N. Security council passed a resolution calling for member nations to give military aid to South Korea. America led this effort. Another error of omission. "John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962." Completely inaccurate. Our first involvement (after WWII) was to provide aid to the French in 1950. The 1950 aid included a clandestine military mission and military "advisors". "Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent." It was a NATO operation. Another omission. Yawn, this is too easy ...
