Hey Archie, if this forum gets your blood pressure up then maybe you should stop reading. As for your point about Hitler and Stalin, you are again wrong in your analogy but why should anyone be surprised.

Hitler was Time's Man of the Year in 1938. Germany didn't invade Poland until September 1939, only then did France declare war. Until then, Hitler was seen as a ruthless leader of Germany and was named man of the year because he and others (Mussolini, etc.) essentially redrew the map of Europe as well as other negative accomplishments but does anyone actually believe he would be Man of the Year for the final solution or the war in Europe? Well, actually the answer is no as is evidenced b the list. Stalin was Man of the Year in 1939 and 1942, both at a time when Russia was our ally. Did Stalin make Man of the Year after we learned of the millions of people that died in the gulags? Of course not! Neither Mao, Pol Pot nor any of the others LT mentioned have ever been Time's Man of the Year.

So his point is in my view reasonably valid as he mentions these people not in the historical context of when they were named but as we know them today. And your post is as usual almost completely wrong and to quote you, "Do you ever think before you speak?". Thanks for driving by and now you can crawl back into your hole and wait for the opportunity to drive by again.........
