The National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Va., plans to install a bust of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, according to this report. Sounds like a really bad idea. Okay, so the Soviets were a part of the Allied coalition during the Second World War. But I don’t recall Cossacks storming the beaches at Normandy — and this is a D-Day memorial we’re talking about. We shouldn’t go out of our way to commemorate one of history’s most murderous enemies of freedom.

UPDATE: E-mail:

you left out the best part of the D Day story with Stalin.
“the national parks service responded positively when we informed them of Stalin bust”
Of course they did!
Keep up the good work.
