War is hell.

Judging it in the current climate does a disservice to Roosevelt and those in charge of the war effort back then.

What the hell was FDRs problem?
He should have immediately backed Hitler and bowed to the Emperor, who was also a Stalin enemy.

My God, the BS people come up with.

True.

But Truman or Ike probably should have brought that atrocity to light during the Cold War. They obviously opted not to.

What about the fact that the State Department was lying about the details of this massacre...even as late as 1992?

[Tom]

Truman should have listened to Patton and MacArthur and avoided the cold war altogether.

What the hell was FDRs problem?
His problem was that he always smooched Uncle Joes behind and pretty much gave him anything that he wanted. FDR never really viewed communism as much of a threat, and once remarked that "Some of my best friends are Communists." Just another reason of many as to why most conservatives regard FDR with animosity.
