> we didn't start any new wars

I think you need to re-examine that one. I'd agree we didn't start any wars on the scale of Iraq, but we did continue with unnecessary and unsuccessful foreign interventions that have only served to further destabilize the Middle East (and bleeding into Europe...)

We stopped calling them wars and stopped asking congress to authorize them. It's pretty frustrating to see a line like that spouted on HN.
