second best US president since the second Roosevelt. As you can probably figure, I think the three worst Presidents of the last Century were: 1) Woodrow Wilson 2) FDR 3) JFK Woodrow Wilson got us into WWI, which caused WWII, FDR got us into WWII and made such of mess of it with "Uncle Joe" that he caused the Cold War, and JFK was so weak with the Soviets that he almost got us fried. (Yeah, I voted for him and still can't watch the Funeral).

Nothing leaps out. Kuwait was hardly a defense of democracy What put Bush Sr. on the side of the angels on the Kuwait issue was national boundaries. Do they stand for something, or not? Or is it OK to steal another country's territory, or steal the whole country? The US actually hasn't been messing much with other places since the wall came down. It was always the communist expansionary vision that was alarming and motivated most of the interference. There is great similarity between that and islamism - they're both totalitarian.
