Oh? They both wanted to save Stalin's *ss.

You obviously don't know much about Churchill, at least. He hated Communism only slightly less than Naziism. He recognized the Nazis (accurately) as the greater threat. Not because they were more evil, but because they were more competent. You would prefer a world with Nazis in undisputed control of the manpower and natural and industrial resources of Europe, the Middle East and the old Soviet Union? How long would the US have lasted against such odds?

You may be right about FDR.

BTW, Lincoln lovers need to be skillful duckers.

Well aware of that fact.

I am no Lincolnolator. I just recognize that he accomplished something probably nobody else could have, the preservation (or reconstitution, depending on your point of view) of the US as a single country. I believe the world would be a much worse place today if the US had not been united in facing the challenges of the 20th century. It seems highly unlikely that both Naziism and Communism would have been defeated without a United States to lead the resistance.
