- "I'm pretty sure he is the peace prize recipient who started the most wars" Henry Kissinger, 1973? edit: I think Wilson (1919 Nobel; 1913-1921 presidency) is also a contender, if anyone has the patience/stamina to count all his conflicts and classify them. (I.e. what counts as "starting a war" and what's better described as a continuation of an existing conflict). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Woodrow_Wilson#Foreign_policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Woodrow_Wilson#F... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Wars

If we go off the war crimes outlined in Hitchen's "The Trial of Henry Kissinger" > Hitchens presents Kissinger's involvement in a series of alleged war crimes in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh, Chile, Cyprus and East Timor. They are tied for the record for number of nations they committed war crimes in. Although if you include CIA backed coups I think Obama pulls ahead.
