100 million souls could have been saved, if only there was a Pinochet in Russia around 1918.

Excellent point. Think of the souls that could have been saved if General Marshall hadn't stopped Chiang Ke Shek (mangled that spelling) when he had Mao on the ropes and cornered.

I have real doubts about FDR and Marshall given their conduct in WWII and the aftermath. A little known fact, FDR's VP for his first three terms was a communist. There was a mini revolt at the democratic convention and FDR switched to Truman as his VP. If he hadn't, the US would have had a communist as POTUS.
