Who's the Real 'Evil, Warmongers'

So, its been a while since I've posted, and during that time the following occurred to me:

Democrats often like to call us Conservatives 'Warmongers' but a review of the last 100 or so years doesn't confirm that:

- Since 1898 America has been in 8 Wars: Spanish-American, World War I, World War II, Korean, Vietnam, the Cold War, and the First and Second Gulf Wars
- Only 3 were started by Republicans: The Spanish-American, and the Gulf Wars
- Of the 7 that have been concluded, despite only starting 2, Republicans have ended 5 (McKinley - Spanish-American, Eisenhower - Korea, Nixon - Vietnam, Reagan - The Cold War, Bush Sr. - Gulf War)
- The only War that was won without actual battle, the Cold War, was won by Ronald Reagan, a Republican
- The total number of deaths from all 3 Wars started by Republicans (appx. 5,150) is about seven times less than the number of deaths from the least costly War started by a Democrat (Korea 36,914)
- The 3 wars started by Republicans are (as a percentage of the GDP) the 3 cheapest of the 8 Wars

So, in conclusion, not only do Republicans actually fight less Wars than Democrats, but they are better at doing so, and they are much better at making peace. This does not mean we shouldn't have fought the Wars started by Democrats, au contraire. Rather, it goes to show that Democrats are in absolutely no position to criticize Republicans for being 'warmongers', 'illegally putting the troops in harms way', etc., etc. because, well, they're actually much better at those things themselves.
