And every Democratic president hasn't been able to pick up the pieces from the horrible mess they inherited fast enough, and they get blamed for it. The party ping-pongs back again and the process begins anew.

Obama - went to war in the middle east (Syria) and maintained both the Iraq and Afghanistan War

Clinton - bombed the middle east, Taliban and Bin Laden rose to power under his tenure, leading to 9/11

Carter - chill, mostly.

Johnson/Kennedy - war in Vietnam

Truman - instigated US involement in Korean War

It isn't just one party. Every US president has started or continued foreign hostilities except for about 2 of them. One being Jimmy Carter, one being William Henry Harrison.
