I wonder what old Winnie told Joseph Stalin and FDR at Malta?

Great men save nations but, all too often, never get the credit they truly deserve.

An Iron Curtain Does Exist ..

Tear down this wall, Mr Gorbachev.

Churchill and Reagan are right up there as some of the greatest to speak out in the name of FReedom and Liberty. And so would it seem, is TG Joe. ;-) Thanks

I don't think they all made it there. Yalta, in the Crimea, hosted a big conference. The Vorontsovskiy palace just south of Yalta was the British lodging, and tour guides there will point out the chair that Winnie supposedly burned with a cigar while dozing.

While there Winnie also sought out a battlefield near Sevastopol, where ninety or so years earlier the British made a fruitless yet colorful charge made famous by Tennyson. Ever mindfull of history, even while he was in the process of creating it, Churchill laid a wreath at the monument there.

FDR? Despite assuring Churchill that "I can handle Stalin", spent most of his time in Yalta asleep. Another argument for term limits.
