The Peace Presidents
by Jean Edward Smith
On Feb. 8, 2004, George W. Bush proudly proclaimed to Tim Russert on �Meet the Press,� �I am a war president.� Like an 8-year-old playing with toy soldiers, Bush, an Air National Guard dropout, looked at war with vicarious enthusiasm. Contrast the attitude of the nation�s �peace presidents� - supreme commanders who led the nation to victory in the greatest wars the country faced: men who had experienced the grim reality of battle and wanted no part of it. . .
