John M. Peters at LRC has written a great bit about how much George Bush reminds him of an earlier born-again, ivy league, disaster of a mass murderer of a president: Woodrow "ruiner of all things good" Wilson.
I’d have to say I agree.

If there’s any justice in the universe that son of a bitch Wilson should be rotting in eternally in hell.
Yep, he for sure started a lotta goddamn trouble and worse than that, it ain’t over yet. Trouble is Sol, they ain’t no justice in the world just hierarchy and thus these elite personalities who know what’s best for the collective masses: even if it requires slaughtering off a couple million now and again. dosen’t bother ‘em. They have tendency to to consider governing as a kind of livestock management. (Now there’s a bumper sticker for Stressin’ Scott Horton! And I hereby confer every consent if he wants it. Make it an Intellectual Property gift) Past that? The The Doctrine[s] of Woodrow Wilson is the gift that keeps on giving. Worse still, he was originally a Southerner like me…except he was privileged…go figgur…
Woodrow was just a stooge to push out in front of the crowd, then pull his string, just like Bush is. But yes, in the end they have to be held accountable.
Scott, I didn’t read your article until now, well done. How come you don’t write much anymore for anti-war, not enought time?
Wilson was the worst. Have I ever told you guys about the story of Philip Dru: Administrator…?
Articles: Yeah. I gotta start writing them again. Blogging is to writing articles what pirate radio is to a real career in radio – an excuse to be lazy and half-ass it.
I gotta get moving!
I heard someone say somewhere that World War One began in 1914…and has been going on ever since (!)
Think of it. World War II was the enthusiatic response of the otherwise clever and rational (but then starving and harried German people) to a syphillitic psychotic demagogue, who would normally have been laughed into obscurity were it not for the punitive peace at Versailles.
And the Russians…same story still going. The Chinese?
And who turned over the Middle East to the Brits?
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” – Wilson
” I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” The New Freedom. Woodrow Wilson, 1913
“It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any outcropping of what is now called ‘a conspiracy theory of history.’ For a search for ‘conspiracies,’ as misguided as the results often are, means a search for motives, and an attribution of individual responsibility for the historical misdeeds of ruling elites. If, however, any tyranny or venality, or aggressive war imposed by the State was brought about not by particular State rulers but by mysterious and arcane ‘social forces,’ or by the imperfect state of the world — or if, in some way, everyone was guilty — then there is no point in anyone’s becoming indignant or rising up against such misdeeds. Furthermore, a discrediting of ‘conspiracy theories’ will make the subjects more likely to believe the ‘general welfare’ reasons that are invariably put forth by the modern State for engaging in aggressive actions.” – Rothbard

Let’s also add Wilson’s Secretary of War Newton Diehl Baker to the equation…
