P.S. I owe everyone an apology for saying that World War II was a huge waste. It was unworthy of all the people who fought and died there. It just seems like we learned nothing from all that destruction and waste and are doomed to repeat it. I don't know what's going to become of us.
I am an avid WWII nut. Earlier this evening, I was watching some show on one of the history channels about how Stalin played FDR at Yalta. Stalin was brilliant. Churchhill was furious. And FDR was a complete idiot. Instead of FDR standing with Churchhill, he relished the role of playing the role of power broker between the two.
WWII was the epitome of the Greatest Generation. But selling out Poland and giving Stalin everything after the war was inexcusable. At least Tito had balls.
And on the other front, Mao won out, enabling him to kill 40 million Chinese citizens while we did nothing.
But I understood what you were trying to say, Laura.
