-- George W. Bush.

Chirchill did lots of bad things too though.

I mean, we incinerated Dresden (then again, IMHO the Germans deserved it) and Churchill fucked up in world war 1 bigtime . Not many people know this, but its because he masterminded the Gallipoli offensive, where we tried to do a D-Day type thing in Turkey in order to get a hold on the eastern front. There was like 60% losses, with 300,000 or so dying over the course of about a week or something.

if it wasnt for all the good stuff he did in the second world war, he would probably be remembered in a negatvive light for that instead.
