Truman was a Democrat, therefore the Korean War was a "good" war.

Exactly.
Since Truman was a Democrat, it's okay that almost 34000 Americans died for Korean freedom.
Since Bush is a Republican, it's not okay for 3,000 Americans to die for Iraqi freedom.

More Americans died in Korea in one month* than have died in all the years we have been in Iraq.

*3475 Americans died fighting for Korean freedom in November, 1950
3345 Americans died fighting for Korean freedom in September, 1950

In the interest of balance, you did pick two of the worst months in the Korean War (I believe your choices covered the Inchon landings/first re-capture of Seoul and the Chinese offensive)
