FDR was certainly old and decrepit. However, the reason he didn't stand up to Stalin is that he believed that the Soviet system was good. His complicity with the USSR is covered in "Roosevelt and Stalin, the Failed Courtship". A wonderful little book by Robert Nisbet, which should be mandatory reading in high school history classes.

It's amazing how many people have bought into the conceit that communism failed in Russia because it wasn't run by the right leaders.

How can you counter such stupidity about the nature of human beings?
