No, it didn't. You are literally the living embodiment of a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You have very little knowledge, and extrapolate what you do have into fantasies. We have been engaged in the Middle East since the 50's. We needed the oil. We weren't in constant war for 30 years, if so name them. And George Bush Sr didn't start the Kuwaiti War. As for Central America we were involved in trying to stop communist insurgencies. Will be the first to admit mistakes were made, laws broken. But you're not even aware that they were in Central America, not South America. And you thought Reagan had us in Chile. Crack a book for crying out loud!
