Churchill is being unfairly slammed here. By the time Yalta occured, FDR was in the driver's seat and drifting away from Churchill. While Churchill wouldn't be considered politically correct by today's standards, it seems that FDR was more complicit in this agreement with Stalin. Read Newsweek Reporter John Meachum's account in Franklin & Winston.

Thanks for that insight. I know everyone has their opinions....it is easy to play Monday-morning quarterback. Not that there is really anything wrong in debating the past, expressing your opinion, etc...but I always try to remember that hindsight is 20/20.

Plus, I, personally, try to be very careful in what I say so I don't in anyway appear to be trashing The Greatest Generation (not that anyone here has or would), but you know what I mean.

Have a great day!
