"Seems to me we're lucky Uncle Joe decided to stop when he did."
Who says he stopped? Cuba? China? Greece, Middle East, SouthEast Asia?
And are you the one that called my country (that resurrected Germany and Japan) FASCIST?
PS; where did I call MY Country (not just yours) Fascist?
I would hate to think I spent all those years in the US Navy serving a Fascist cause.
Or is it only people who have the temerity to prove you wrong (and cite actual facts while they do it) fascists?
While we're at it: first I'm a leftist and then I'm a fascist? Go figure. Get yourself a dictionary of political terms, study it, and then leave the discussion of history and politics to us adults.
