There is just a few problems with your supposition about Communism.

Best post I've read in a long time. I, like Cathcon, felt that kicking the Soviets ass ASAP would have been the least bad choice (with hindsight, at the time I probably wouldn't have thought that way). But even with hindsight considered, I now change my tune. It still makes me feel like sh**t that we let the Soviets get away with the nonsense they put the people under their thumb through, but that post made me realize that it probably wouldn't have been the least bad choice. The Cold War sucked, was expensive in lives and dollars but attacking the Soviets in 1945 would have most likely cost more men and coin.
Consider some of my ignorance fought! Good luck fighting the rest, I'm going to redouble me defenses now and go read some blogs at Foxnews.com.
