If I remember right, Churchill was turned out of office shortly after helping to win WWII. I thought that's what this article would be about. Bush deserves a better fate.

You DO remember right, Churchill was turned out of office shortly after helping to win WWII, and that made Stalin REAL, REAL HAPPY!!!

And, he didn't have FDR to deal with anymore, either.

So, Eastern Europe was handed to him on a silver platter. The Soviets feasted upon it for decades.

Churchill and FDR knew what Stalin was up to, and never trusted him. They never planned hand over Eastern Europe to the Soviets, but their successors felt differently,,,

Eisenhower didn't know what was really going on, until it was far to late.

By the way,
PLEASE DO NOT confuse the Soviets with the Russians!

Then, Europe was divided into OUR sphere of influence (which became independent, democratic countries), and the nations that Stalin enslaved for years. Even today, they are still struggling their way out of the poverty that the Soviets imposed upon them.

Churchill's memoirs are very interesting reading.
