Worst Americans Options

[*kryogenix*]

Who do you believe are the worst Americans of all time?

Be prepared to defend your choices! I'm expecting a lot of "George W. Bush for being a stupid dum dum head," so make sure you can stay and defend your choices.

This is not a concrete list (actually, I'm going to pick some controversial figures for the sake of debate) but here, in no particular order:

FDR- For pretty much becoming a dictator during WWII, not to mention mishandling it.
Nathan Bedford Forrest- For starting the KKK.
Joe McCarthy- For his overzealous crusade against Communism.
U.S. Grant- For being a terribly ineffective president, especially after the Civil War.
Robert McNamara- For mishandling the Vietnam War.
Malcolm X- For undoing what MLK JR III did by supporting violent miltantism.

I can't think of any more bad Americans at the moment, but I'll let you guys have a go.

No Hitler didnt cause the depression for Germany he used it to manipulate the German people into thinking that he could restore Germany to is Glory. But once he was in power he started the creation or the attempted at creating his Arian(sp) Nation.

exactly what FDR did.

Every Major figure god or bad or neither gained there power during economic crisis. Whether it was FDR, Hitler, Mao Tse Tong(sp), Stalin, Saddam, and tonz more. The people where looking for an answer to the problem and they offered a temporary fix to get them into power.

temoprary fixes that are causing problems right now.

Also can you imagine what the world would be like today if America hadnt entered WWII? Chances are that much of the western World would be under german control. With Japan expanding East. Causing the 2 forces to meet in America. Which could have started another conflict (possibly)

can you imagine what the world would have been like if chamberlain didn't try to appease hitler?

anyways, the western world seems pretty good at resisting unification. America didn't help with napoleon, and the british still brought him down.

plus, both napoleon and hilter made the mistake of attacking russia. Don't attack russia. expecially not in the summer, because things will only get worse. attack russia in the winter, and you won't overextend yourself, and you'll be ready for the winter.
