Should FDR Have Reached Out To 'Moderate' Nazis?

And FDR most certainly DID dally with Stalin in a way that drove Churchill nuts, as you point out.

Still, once war was on, FDR at least didn’t seek to “reach out” and “comprimise” with the Nazis.

Yes, and we should keep very aware of our “foreign policy”. This nation has much more to be concerned about than they still have to realize....

[Michael Eden]

Right again, Eagle.

It SHOULD be the thing that a president is MOST concerned about. If there is ONE legitimate constitutional duty for a president and a federal government, it is defense.

Iran obtaining nuclear weapons will change the world. Even if they don’t attack Israel (which of course they ultimately would), you will see a massive increase in terrorism, and even the blocking of the Strait to sever the oil supply.

And what will we do about it? Attack them, and give them an excuse to start a nuclear war?

And that’s just ONE of many problems and developing crises.

I have never understood why FDR was such a popular president, given that his policies prolonged the depression, and he allowed this country to be totally vulnerable to attack.

Whenever I think Americans are intelligent - even in the generations that were FDR more intelligent than we are today - I think about FDR and realize we are and have been fools.

And what we (the American electorate) have put in our White House and Congress, is GLARING POSITIVE EVIDENCE of that fact. Elections have consequences and this one will be the worst in history, will certainly generate the least respected and most disliked president in history, and do more damage to the American Republic that can only be fearfully imagined at this juncture. God help us.
