Actually, my father was a teenager in the Ukraine during World War II and somehow survived to give birth to me at the ripe old age of 40 in the great U.S.A!

I'm no fan of socialism, but humanity has greater threats than a politician who has been dead for over half a century. Jimmy Carter still walks the Earth.

Of course, you didn't address why the pic of Rumsfeld and Saddam is different from the FDR and Stalin pic. Stalin could do more killing in a day than Saddam could in his entire reign, yet it is okay for FDR to have a smiling photo-op with him.
