Parallel universes.
There must be another, similar, universe where you lived, and then moved here.
As I recall, the anti-war protestors caused a sitting American president to not seek re-election. Both the Democratic and Republican candidates prior to the election in 1968 were far more moderate on the war than Johnson.
In the '72 election, Nixon gave the appearance of having a solution to the war and getting the hell out of there, and then didn't after it was over. Sort of lied about his "plan".
Question: When is the last time a Republican candidate for President lied about their foreign policy prior to election and then became hellbent to go to war, using more lies and forged documents to justify it because there was no honest rational reason?
