I'm going to expose my nerd history buff self here, but journalists wrote very critical, false things about Lincoln and people absolutely did protest the insanely high casualties of the Civil War and were always pressuring him to stop the conflict -- the riots in New York City after the draft was instated, for instance. I don't know as much about WWII but there was a big movement in the US to not get involved in that war.


Thanks for the info & I don't think you are nerdy for knowing that - I must brush up on my history so I can spew out such details.


Thanks, Laken1. It's okay, I embrace my nerdy self. ;)

I totally agree with how Sephorablue described Giuliani -- he was really comforting like a father. He went right to the heart of what was going on. He felt the same grief we did, but at the same time managed to reassure us. Yes, we could definitely do far worse for a president! I'd vote for him.
