"I wholeheartedly disagree. You have not even begun to calculate the numbers of victims that have been slaughtered under blood RED Communism."

Here is a site that provides all kinds of details on who killed how many of whom in every conflict in history. This particular page looks at the blame for WWII deaths:

WWII deaths by who is to blame

As I read this, while Stalin was responsible for more deaths overall -- he had a much longer career than Hitler, and Stalin killed far more of HIS OWN PEOPLE -- but Hitler was responsible for more deaths DURING WORLD WAR TWO.

My intention is not to exaggerate or minimize the mass murders by anyone. But if you want to understand why the Western Allies sided with Stalin against Hitler, you have to study the history of that time.

I'd say this: in 1934 many Europeans feared Stalin much more than Hitler, and had Hitler played his cards right might have joined him against Stalin. But by 1939 there was absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind which power was the greater & more immediate threat!

Do you disagree?

I agree with no hesitation Hitler HAD to be stopped. I view history as to pre-Hitler and what the US could have done differently so there would have been NO Hitler to trash, burn and destroy peoples and a continent.

I see NO brilliance regarding this man, and have never understood what seduced a nation to come under his spell. There was nothing about him pleasing to the eye and vile evil was spewed through his mouth. I know why the US had to stop Hitler and I have NO qualms for having done so.

However, history has taught US that we were dealing with two devils and the one we sided with was no better than the one we used our blood and treasure to stop. And what did Stalin do to his part of Europe he captured?

How do you think 70 years out history will treat US for removing another Stalin/Hitler like man called Saddam. You think an assessment will be done accusing US causing more deaths?

As I said earlier history does not happen in a vacuum and since the French Revolution the Europeans as individuals, nations and a continent have NOT made wise choices. And our intellectual class have since our revolution attempted to take this nation on the same path that Europe has been on since the French Revolution.
