Hate to make the case in Nixon's favor, but in this case I'll make an exception. I can't remember any other administration where soldiers actually shot protestors. Imprisoned, yes, but they were still alive at the end of it.

You are aware up untill 9/11 that the Dems were far more the party that espoused that America should be the "Policemen of the World". When W ran in 2000 he spoke of a humble foreign policy which ment reducing military intervention.

W said a lot of things that were completely different than his actions.

All presidents have.
