WWII was hardly "initiated" by FDR. Vietnam was actually started by Eisenhower putting advisers there, but Ill grant you that Johnson played along with the MIC quite nicely after having observed JFK getting his head nearly taken off. And that is if you believe that JFK was trying to get us out of being there. And I don't believe Obama "initiated" the war on terror. There are very bad people who wish us harm. I'm glad we're using drones instead of my kids or yours. I do however see that using drones does create backlash. But the fact remains there are bad people who are not going to play nicey nice had Obama just wrapped things up and went home. He pretty much had to continue the fight.
