Now that George W. Bush has killed his 1,000th

So, by your “logic”, was FDR 135 times worse than OBL? Or were you merely
trolling? :-)

Did FDR initiate an unprovoked attack upon a sovereign nation? If so, was he
inspired to do so because of decades of biased and unbalanced foreign policy,
which itself came on the heels of imperialist efforts to usurp the natural
resources of the US?
It’s not just a matter of body counts--the justification for FDR’s actions
differed mightily from OBL’s. GWB’s choice to invade and bomb a sovereign
nation that hadn’t attacked the US or its allies more closely resembles OBL’s
choice to bomb the WTC than it resembles FDR’s decision to enter WWII.
Dave!
