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.

I have yet to see ne of the problems that FDR's plan during the depressions have cause or what we are still having problems with. And who cares about russia they are a Once super power nation that has since almost declined into the status of a third world Nations.

And Napoleons Problems was not that he attacked russia in the summer it was the his ego was to large for him to grasp. He felt the he could take the world in one swift motion. But solider morale doesnt last that long for that to be possible in that time of the world.

Germans problem was in the fact that they where fighting a war on too many fronts. Blitzkerg warfare is an excellent style of warfare if you have the resources to do it. The problem with germany was that they over stretched them selves so that they could not continue attacks for long periods of time. Blitzkerg was worked good for germany. But it would have won them the war if they had the resource to have continuous wave after wave instead of 2 maybe 3.
