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!




Stalin's famine was in 1932-1933 as a result of forced collectivization. Your father was likely born about that time. But if your father survived, Uncle Joe must have been a swell guy!

Quote:


FDR was the greatest U.S. president ever because he got the country through both the Great Depression and World War II.




I imagine Lincoln preserving the Union or Washington leading the American revolution have it all over FDR. I'd put Reagan far above FDR as well.

Unless you listen to the right-wing echo chamber where he's the greatest threat to humanity since Satan...




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.



Gotta do a little clarification here. My pops was born in the U.S.A., but for some unclear reason, his family moved back to their farm in the Ukraine just before World War II broke out. They had dual-citizenship, and after the war, they moved the hell back.

I shouldn't have said "ever"; change that to the 20th century.

Jimmy Carter's always a funny reference; a great Simpsons bit had the townspeople riot when a statue of him was unveiled in Springfield.

FDR, Churchill & Stalin was an alliance of necissity to defeat Hitler. Rumsfeld and Hussein was an alliance of opportunitism to stick it to Iran. Yeah, that's hair-splitting...
