So the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Funny, cause that's what got FDR hooked up with Joe Stalin.>>

You are missing the point entirely. FDR could have easily continued a fight against Hitler with Stalin without becoming friends with the latter. Churchill had little difficulty doing so. But FDR took it a step further and, through open friendship towards Stalin, constructed a communist easter europe for the remainder of the century. An enemy of your enemy can continue to be his enemy. But that does not mean he also has to be your friend.
