And to me, that merely shows the limitiations of the satirical approach. FDR and Ike supporting Darlan, thats funny. Right? FDR supporting Darlan, cause it might help to stop the gas chambers a little earlier, thats not so funny. But to ignore the latter in discussing FDRs and Ikes approach to Darlan, is to remove the context that is necessary for fairly judging FDR and Ike.
It's for precisely that reason that I didn't start with someone like Stalin. Think of the equation for qualification as thus-

Monstrousness of regime x pointlessness of supporting them

It wasn't particularly embarrassing to ally with Stalin. Needs must when the devil drives. But Trujillo?
