His acts following WWII were at least as criminal as many of the German officers tried there. FDR collaborated with Stalin in the enslavement of millions of East European people, under a government which he knew to be at least as brutal as that of Hitler. Truman likewise acquiesced to those agreements -- while Soviet planes strafed unarmed German civilians fleeing, in bitter winter weather, on foot and in horse carts, to escape the coming Soviet horrors. 300,000 of those helpless refugees died en route.

I don't see a whole lot of difference between FDR's politics of vanity and ignorance in international relations and that of Obama, who bows to Saudi kings and snuggles up to communist thugs Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega -- recently addressing the latter as "mi amigo." Someone in the British press just described O as "President Pantywaist." Indeed he is.

Read "Other Losses" by James Bacque, with a forward by a former senior U. S. Army historian, Dr. Ernest F. Fisher, Jr., Col. A. U. S. (Ret.) about the horrific abuses of Germans--including civilians, women and children--in prison camps where they endured freezing rain with no shelter, living in filthy holes on a starvation diet, no tents, blankets, or medical care, etc. This went on, unnecessarily, for over a year following WWII. These prisoners were not accorded the status of POWs so were not on the radar of the Red Cross, etc. A close relative was one of those prisoners, starved and beaten daily. Hundreds of thousands died. After the war was over! This is thoroughly documented, though denied or glossed over by Stephen Ambrose and others.
