Boy, Buchanan is a nut job. Slippery as a basket of eels, too. He "conveniently" forgets that Churchill wanted to try to liberate Eastern Europe, but was not allowed to do so. The rest of the Allies were tired of fighting, and not mentally equipped to turn on the Soviets after working together to get rid of Hitler. The very phrase, "Iron Curtain," was Churchill's. Nobody in the West, least of all Churchill, was satisfied with losing Eastern Europe to the Communists. But what was the alternative? Sit around and hope Hitler didn't attack them next? The suggestion that Hitler would have been satisfied with Czechoslovakia and Poland is risible. Churchill rightly condemned that as wishful thinking. It's easy to argue in retrospect who was worse, Hitler or Stalin -- they were both terrible men, who did terrible things. But blaming Churchill because he wasn't able to stop either of them before they killed millions is just nutz. The Allies beat the Nazis, and held back the Soviets. We won WWII and WWIII, and were inspired by Churchill all the way. Why anybody listens to Buchanan astonishes me.
