No. Thank God for Trumans right decision in 1945. But don’t forget that in 1950 he withdrew the American troops in Korea, which made it possible for Communist North Korea to invade. We had to fight and 30,000 dead Americans later the borders between South Korea and North Korea were the same. Now there are still US troops there keeping the ceasefire. Truman mightily screwed up then.

You can’t really blame Truman for that, like you can’t really blame Bush or Clinton for 9-11. Nobody had their crystal ball working.
