This is the same as arguing that "Except for opposing Hitler and later warning of the descent of the Iron Curtain, Churchill did not govern as a conservative."

Once again demonstrating that Hewitt is an idiot, Churchill's personal hatred of Hitler blinded him into essentially ceding Eastern Europe to Stalin. He may have "warned", but when he could have opposed, he chose to go along with his commie buds. Churchill was principally a legend in his own mind, much like Hewitt.

Utter nonsense. Most of Eastern Europe was conquered by the Red Army before Yalta even took place. The rest was overrun before Monty even crossed the Rhine.

And to call Churchill a "commie bud" demonstrates an incredible level of ignorance on your part. Churchill was derided as early as 1919 for his vehement oppostion to Communism. He also made a speech in Missouri you might have heard of -- where he mentioned "the Iron Curtain" publicly. He had used that same phrase in the Spring of 1945 -- see "Triumph and Tragedy" for the documentation.

You don't know your history very well at all. Churchill was terrified towards the end of the war that an ailing Roosevelt was in Uncle Joe's pocket. Churchill fretted, worried, wrote letters to Roosevelt and others about what he percieved as a creeping deference to Stalin in war strategy and post-war planning that was dangerous for the world--which we now all know was correct.

Churchill had it right, as does Hewitt.
