You're ruling out one of the main candidates in the 2008 election;
Rudolph Gullianni. As far as I know he has had nothing to do with any
wars.
And if you remember anything about 9/11 he was the most supportive
government official, he aided 80% of the families affected by 9/11.
I'm rambling though, and probably a little biased since I'm a
Republican.
