re: 60 million Russians were killed by Lenin, Stalin and as "collateral damage" during WW II.

So your point is that Bush isn't as bad as Stalin and Lenin?

>Most of this uncovered after 1990 but still never got decent press cover anywhere including by your NYT and WP.

That's because our NYT and WP LOVE Communists, like we do!

Total deaths caused by Lenin and Stalin maybe but 60million seems high for just WWII, esp. since you mention collateral damage so you presumably exclude soldiers.

The NYT certainly did whitewash the "man made famines". I think you might be combining those with WWII, and other smaller events to get the 60 million figure. Even then it might be slightly lower, but the general scale is right, if its 50 not 60 its not worth having a big argument over it.
