@livinglava,
No, you faild to read my opinion that I blame him for much of the runnup to the Iraq war because, at that time he , by letting Darth Cheney manipulate him he aw the errors of his ways and did sveral years of mea culpa. I dont absolve him but I think I could forgive him.
Lincoln was kind of a doofus in military strategy and wanted to be part of it during the Civil war. He was an idiot to think he was up there with winning battles, but he was still a great president. Even though his idea od "freeing the slaves" was to ahve thm locate to areas away from whites or move back to Africa. SO all our leaders have a few things wrong with thir regimes. Its not till this fully symmetrically doofisticated douche bag of a president we have now has given a new depth of meaning to "moron"
