		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Ghostwriter. The reason why the left hates America so much (and blame it for almost virtually everything, and I mean almost virtually everything) is because America (and the West) oppose the left&#039;s vision of a totalitarian &quot;utopia&quot;. America and the West stand for democracy, free-market capitalism and the rule of law, while Communism stands for totalitarianism, imperialism (though the left will never admit that) and terror. Remember that the modern left (the left actually existed in Spain under the ruthless King Philip II during the 16th century) was established by the French Revolution of 1789-1793, when radical left-wing extremists known as the Jacobins overthrew the French monarchy of King Louis XVI and created the first ever Communist totalitarian regime which instigated the Reign of Terror. Louis XVI was an American ally who supported the patriots struggle for independence against King George III of Britain. While George III seemed to opposed outwardly what was going on in France during the 1780s and the 1790s, there is some indication that he secretly supported and funded the French Revolution and the subsequent Jacobin dictatorship. Since George III&#039;s Britain were the first anti-Americans and the Jacobins were the first Communist totalitarians, George III and the Jacobins formed a secret bond. And thus, Communism and anti-Americanism bonded there as well. That bond is also noticeable by the fact that both mercantilism and Communism oppose free-market capitalism and open competition. Since the French Revolution, the radical left has opposed America on practically every issue and for every part of the last two centuries. The goal of the Communists is never democracy, because Communists view democracy as a &quot;bourgeois&quot; principle. The goal of the Communists is to lie to the workers and the ordinary people about establishing a so-called &quot;utopia&quot; in the world, only to establish a totalitarian regime were civil liberties and civil rights are nonexistent and where the government controls absolutely everything, including one&#039;s own pets (By the way, Stalin&#039;s forced collectivization in Ukraine and other parts of the Soviet Union led to the confiscation and deaths of many people as well as their farm animals, many of whom are pets). The left also never likes to admit the fact that Communism is also an imperialist ideology that murdered more people (in both peace and war) than Fascism. In fact, Fascism was also inspired by Communism. The only difference is that Fascism focused on extreme nationalism, while Communism focuses on so-called &quot;internationalism&quot;. When Fascism and Nazism were defeated by the Allied powers in World War II, the Soviet Union decided to become the new totalitarian enemy of the democratic Allies of the United States and the United Kingdom. For about 45 years-from 1945 to 1990, the Soviet Union was the chief instigator of totalitarianism, oppression, imperialism and human rights violations in that former country and around around the world. During that time, the Soviets have established puppet regimes around the world. Thankfully, most of those puppet states are gone, but some revisionists like Oliver Stone still refuse to see the horrors of Communist totalitarianism. Since the collapse of the USSR, radical Islamism declared itself to be the new totalitarian enemy of the West and democracy. Because radical Islamism is an enemy of the West and democracy, the left formed a new alliance with the Islamists. Hence, the modern unholy alliance formed. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;,,,or did they allow themselves to be deceived so that the terrible compromises they made seemed more palatable?&quot;  Somehow, knowing human nature as I do, this seems the more probable, yet this requires us to believe in the possible foibles of the great FDR and Mr. Churchill. 
 
Uncle Joe,indeed.  I once read a reliable account of the thousands that Stalin murdered.  It seems he had to have at least 1,000 deaths a day and sometimes these were in the 10,000&#039;s -- a DAY!!   
 
Pure evil.  Not easily grasped by ordinary men or great, like FDR and Churchill.  The trusting innocence, the loathing to believe so ill of someone, and yet there they were, sitting in so many pictures now famous with this ruthless and cunning person. 
 
The beat goes on, only now there seems to me to be even more oblivion, as in the case of John Kerry, for instance, a certain willingness to fall on the sword, an intense drive to self-destruct in order to pander to and agree with our enemies.

		<description><![CDATA[Like Omar,I don&#039;t understand how ANYONE can view Stalin as anything other than a monster. He had thousands of people slaughtered for no real reason other than his own paranoia. There are a couple of documentaries on Stalin that I wish people like Oliver Stone would watch. The first one is a documentary on the World War II clash between the two megalomanical leaders on History International,now H2. This happened before the war. The nephew of an admiral in Stalin&#039;s navy told the story of his uncle as he met an American battleship as it entered Vladivostok. He described how compared to the American battleship,the Russian ship bobbed around the water like toys. 
         He described the American admiral,a guy named Anelle who took him on the tour of the battleship personally. There were a lot of people who went on tours of the ship. After a few days,the battleship left. Some days after that,Stalin had the man arrested as &quot;a spy for the West.&quot; He ended up disappearing. Also,in that documentary series,it had people in punishment battalions who did the most dangerous jobs possible. 
 
        The History Channel also had an English version of a German documentary on Stalin. It had interviews of people not only who knew but were prisoners of him. They even had a man who drew pictures of what life was like in a gulag and I can tell you,they aren&#039;t pretty. Even with all the knowledge of the terrible things he did,why are there people like Oliver Stone who venerate this monster? I also wish that Omar would tell me why these people would continue to blame America for the Cold War when it was Stalin who wanted to control Eastern Europe and then the world. I wish would be someone who could tell me why that is.

		<description><![CDATA[Very well put. An honest post. 
 
But FDR and the slavishly admiring Duranty had two very separate motives, or ideals if you prefer: Duranty -- more or less -- considered Stalin&#039;s USSR as some sort of ideal. FDR knew the war against the Nazis would have a quicker, more beneficial outcome if he supported the lesser (for US purposes at the time) of two evils.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, ignorance is bliss, Tabitha (yeah, I couldn&#039;t resist). Hitler was right wing whether you like it or not. So was Pinochet. As far as I&#039;m aware, mainstream American conservatives are not apologists for extreme right-wing Fascism.  I am quite aware that National Socialism is socialism, which only means that the distinction worth making is between individualists and collectivists - NOT right and left. 
 
Stalin&#039;s &quot;purges&quot; were the least of his crimes, particularly since so many of his &quot;victims&quot; were the same sort of s.o.b.&#039;s that he was.  
 
The English killed far more people in Ireland because they were Catholic than it ever killed in England &quot;with the Catholic Church as government&quot; whatever that means. Oliver Cromwell was a butcher to rival Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot  And it wouldn&#039;t have mattered whether people were &quot;even allowed to read Bibles&quot; since they couldn&#039;t read and didn&#039;t have books. But nevermind . . .. 
 
 I don&#039;t know where you learned history, but I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t go to school there.

<p>Stalin&#039;s &quot;purges&quot; were the least of his crimes, particularly since so many of his &quot;victims&quot; were the same sort of s.o.b.&#039;s that he was.  </p>
<p>The English killed far more people in Ireland because they were Catholic than it ever killed in England &quot;with the Catholic Church as government&quot; whatever that means. Oliver Cromwell was a butcher to rival Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot  And it wouldn&#039;t have mattered whether people were &quot;even allowed to read Bibles&quot; since they couldn&#039;t read and didn&#039;t have books. But nevermind . . .. </p>
<p> I don&#039;t know where you learned history, but I&#039;m glad I didn&#039;t go to school there.  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The Soviet agent overhearing the conversation listens to FDR accuse Churchill of preparing an anti-Communist government and recalls &#8220;thinking how strange it was&#8221; for the president to &#8220;put Churchill and Stalin on the same plane&#8221; and to think of himself as &#8220;the arbiter between them.&#8221;&quot; 
 
The great FDR. The great dupe. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Greenfield doesn&#039;t adduce any information that would contradict the &quot;Stalin as pragmatic tyrant&quot; thesis.  Trying to get back lost Russian provinces in Eastern Europe and installing friendly rulers doesn&#039;t amount to a grand plan to take over the world. ]]></description>
