The blame for Stalin's dominating Eastern Europe isn't so much at Yalta, by which time it was irreversible, but in the way we dealt with the USSR during the war. Didn't Ike make concessions to allow them to get to those countries before we did?

The Allies didn't give Patton the gasoline he needed to get across Europe. He could have been there.

I don't agree with Pat's uber-isolationism, but he leans towards a crucial point. We defeated the Nazis, but promtly returned thousands of Russian, Poles, Czech, etc to the Soviet were they were promptly massacred. We liberated the French but condemned the Poles...who's invasion was the start of the war in the first place. Kinda ironic, huh?

Perhaps Buchanan could instead concentrate his time on saying "Was FDR as good of a President as his reputation?"
