As I said to Siro, many things in this world aren't even about morality. The West allied itself with Stalin out of expediency or a common want of survival. It was certainly a necessary evil. It remains evil though.
What I find reprehensible is not necessary evil. Its an attempt to call it good.
Making allies with tin pots dictators because we were afraid that people might democratically chose socialism was in no convieable way a necessary evil. It was just plain, banal evil.
