1914: President Woodrow Wilson allies with Britain and France to fight autocracy in World War One and make the world safe for democracy.
1941: President Franklin Roosevelt allies with Britain, France, and the USSR to fight fascism and destroy it.
1947: President Harry Truman allies with the Free World to fight Communist aggression and liberate captive nations.
1950: President Dwight Eisenhower confronts Communist aggression in South Korea with the UN as allies.
1991: President George Bush leads an international alliance to repel an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
2001: President George W. Bush leads the American people in retaliating to the September 11 attacks on America in Afghanistan against totalitarian Islamist groups.
2013: President Barak Obama forms an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood to install an anti-American Islamist state in Syria to join such U.S. allies as Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon and Turkey on behalf of the Sunni Sharia World; to make the world safe for authoritarian religious dictatorships, antisemitism and those who would wipe Israel off the map, unrepentant Nazi allies, jihad against Christianity, subjecting women to second-class status, and murdering of gay people. Then to forge these ties stronger he defends an overthrown Egyptian Islamist regime insisting that it should at least participate in a coalition government earlier just to make sure that it has a share of power so that, no doubt, American values should be represented.
This is a trick question isn’t it?

"In announcing the Administrations new U.S. policy toward Bosnia-Hercegovina, Secretary of State Warren Christopher promised repeatedly to throw nothing more at the Serbian aggressors than the "full weight of U.S. diplomacy."
Actually all Wilson did was set the world up for WWII.
"...ah...ah....ah...whatsa barak?
Hitler and his henchmen didn't start the Nazi Party because they were mad about a treaty, but because they were just plain mad.
The United States entered World War One in April, 1917. Wilson didn’t ally the US with Britain and France until then.
Yea but the German people went along with him because they were starving.
Yes? Point?
Oh, I see. The “quiz” is wrong.
The Weimar Republic was so incompetent it really gave Hitler an opening.
I think a case could be made in the future for Wilson as the answer, irrespective of the date cited. All depends how our current incompetent diplomacy works out. The impact of Obama will span multi Presidencies. Imagine the 80s with a second Carter term, no Reagan. IMO RR saved Carter’s legacy domestically, the economy recovered so no one cares, and mitigated the harm internationally. The genesis of our problems with Iran clearly is on Carter, but it wasn’t the major issue of the last century
I think that's actually TR's son.
The boy, not the cat.
Thanks, I’m sure you’re right. A quick search indicates slippers was a resident of the White House.
Is that what that was all about? Depending on who you ask, the answer could be:
Capturing bin Laden.
Liberating an abused goat population.
Protecting Poppy fields.
