I can imagine a dark room in the late 30's in Washington with them flipping a coin on which tyrant to support.

And, would Hitler have killed more than Stalin did if given more time?

Remember, we basically put Hitler on lockdown while giving Stalin free reign.

Also, I think I read somewhere that countries living under US Imperialism faired worse (I think in terms of deaths and quality of life) than Soviet colonies.

Which is odd, considering my father's stories from growing up in Bulgaria after WWII.

Oh well.
