As far as I'm concerned, *anyone* who stood up against the "Axis of Evil" were
heros!!!
I'm not going to discount Russia's role in the war - certainly just being
Germany's 2nd front tied up their resources immensely. I'd have to ask what
role they played against the Japanese though? Also, remove Russia from the
war and do a "what if"....now remove the United States from the war and do a
"what if"... which has more impact? Just an interesting exercise... :-)
