I can't predict what Stalin would be eating for supper. But a reasonable person could arrive at some large scale predictions based on large scale assumptions, such as what might have happened if the Soviets had remained allied with the Germans, or had the U.S. not entered the war.
I've posted on this before. Liberals have settled into a comfortable delusion that if Iraq was not in the picture, and bin Laden dead, that everything would be coming up roses, and the only reason we are in a war of civilizations is because Bush screwed up whereas Gore would have performed some unnamed miracle that would have neutralized Islamism forever.
This is much more comforting than realizing that the war, started many years ago by our enemies and only recognized by us after 9/11, will follow us across whatever battlefields we choose or do not choose.
