9. No....the War of 1812 was

Vietnam was a close second.

Everything leading up to the Spanish-American War was pretty much a disaster.

Our failure to embrace the League of Nations was a fairly monumental mistake in retrospect.

One could make the argument that Carter (God bless him) was completely out of his depth during the buildup to the Iranian Revolution.

Iraq is probably in the top five though. But I really wish people would regard history prior to, like, 1996.
