I admire and respect Mandela and Martin Luther King, but they could not have accomplished what they did without the example of Ghandi.

Roosevelt had the vision to edge the United States closer to the Allies in Europe than the isolationists wanted, and he (along with Marshall) was the primary architect of the two-front strategy that we ultimately fought the war with. However, IM(NS)HO, the man who deserves the credit for saving Europe from Communism is Truman. Without the Marshall Plan, Greece, Italy, and France all probably would have gone communist.

And KK - the results that President Kissenger, er, Nixon achieved in Vietnam were absolutely no different than if we had packed our happy asses up and gone home after Tet in 1968 - with the possible exception of 30,000 American and 500,000+ Vietnamese who'd be having grandbabies today. As a matter of fact, with the decimation of the Viet Cong that Tet caused, the tactical situation would have been better for the South Vietnamese that way. The idea that the Paris settlement reassured ANYONE anyplace other than in Podunk, Arkansas, about U.S. resolve in Asia is patently silly. We didn't "lie" to the South Vietnamese government - we sold them down the river.
