Re: We are a peace-loving people.

This is some total Moonbattery here. 

 

The purported "Indian Wars"  lasted 81 years?   Har Har Har!  (Why not use the dates, 1775 through say,  1925?)

 

The chart and the allegation that we've only had 21 years of peace is also ridiculous.   From 1918 (the end of the First World War)  to the start of World War II in 1945 would be 23 years in and of itself.  Seems like there was a good fifteen year break from Viet-Nam to the Gulf War,  and almost as much between the Gulf War and whatever the Hell you would call it when we went back over to Iraq.....
