it looks that, by the end of WWII, Roosevelt is a world emperor.

YES. Both Fox commentators and Michael Moore are "hired guns" for their pet causes. There is some truth to what both these sources say, but it is not the whole truth.

This meeting between Ibn Saud (aka King Abdulaziz) of Saudi Arabia and Roosevelt is where Roosevelt secured for US oil companies control of Saudi oil reserves, and thereby, US control of the world's oil supplies.

Roosevelt also promised Abdulaziz that the US would not support a Jewish state in Palestine, a promise that Truman fortunately went back on.

Roosevelt's great weakness is that he played the odds. He played the odds on American Blacks, on de Gaulle and on Israel.

The cure is worse than the problem.

I couldnt agree more! Simply and logically there can't be a supernman who can live in a cave and wage a war on all the sophisticated high tech western intelegince! However that big lie called Binladen has to live long to justify more of the Wars that make few tacycoons and corporates more rich! no?

I have to disagree. Michael Moore and Fox News are the flipside of the same coin. Very good propagandists for their own point of view. They are both very biased sources. As you said in a previous post, you have to read between the lines to reach your own conclusion.

We obviously think very differently but it has been useful to exchange views with you. Thanks for that! Just if you have the time, type "the truth about 9 11" in the search bar of youtube and watch some of the documentaries there. You dont have to believe them, just use your own judgement. Also watch Fahrenheit 9 11 if you can.
