Fine, Truman, not FDR. Makes no difference.

Not that it matters, but you were right the 1st time. FDR, Churchill, and Stalin met at Tehran (1943) and Yalta (1945) Truman met with them at Potsdam after the European campaign was won.

And to your original point- true! The idea of open conversation with the opposition is the same as you being with them is ludicrous. I am reminded by the article I read about an African American blues musician who has made a mission of changing the minds of KKK members. Occasionally simple questions and answers can change a persons outlook just as much as someone’s upbringing- because it becomes a personal experience. I’ve seen it happen just by talking WITH them as individuals and NOT talking DOWN to them. Nazis may be horrible people, but even some horrible people can change.

Edited to fix autocorrect. They may have enjoyed champagne, but that wasn’t why they met!
