Your points are good but I like to point out, least Stalin wasn't killing Amaricans.

Not in the vast quantities that he was killing his own people, but yes he was. The Soviets killed many Americans both directly in the espionage war, and indirectly in the various proxy wars. Not to mention the direct threat of nuclear attack at any time, directly analogous to the threat all Americans are under currently from terrorism.

Stalin was fighting us in Korea and areas around the world and he did threaten us with nukes but he didn’t do what Saddam did attack us directly by blowing up building and such in the US. It maybe a fine line but I think it is important point.
