>>Churchill, a great wartime leader, was chucked out after the war.
Yes. Both foolish European "World" wars, in fact.
>>We're not in a war. That word should be banned, unless someone is firing at us.
It's said the US permanently is at war over some foreign (oil) field. Perhaps discovery of copious frackable natural gas might reduce the tendency?
>>But we are in a struggle for justice.
>>We shall overcome.
Justice from whom? "We have met the enemy and he is us." Which is an even more interesting quote when you consider it's a play on the original meaning from a US warrior few remember.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
