who's ike? Who's dick?

IKE AND DICK! Capitalization can avoid ambiguity.

He was credited with the conquest of the Nazis in Germany in 1945.

Not personally and exclusively. He commanded one part of the Allied forces. Maybe butt out, nutty guy?

You could argue that Eisenhower's insistance on advancing slowly along an extended front, despite opposition from both Montgomery and Patton, resulted in the Soviets controlling a lot more of Europe than would have happened otherwise.

Do you think Eisenhower was a secret Commie?

Is that the same Nixon who flew to China for cosy chats with his Commie buddies?
I believe they made an Opera about it.

By the way, in your title, both "ike" and "dick" should have been spelled with initial capital letters.

Capitalization shows a measure of respect.
These two war criminals don't really deserve to have their names capitalized.

I wonder how many of us belive that jtt

Arbenz won the next election in 1951 with the support of everyone but the upper class receiving 60 percent of the vote. His intention was to expand the reforms and programs which were introduced by Arévalo. His objectives were to create an independent modern industrial economy in order to raise the living standards of Guatemalans and to reach out to the Mayan population in order to assess what they wanted.

In 1954, the American government successfully orchestrated the overthrow of the freely elected government of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala and replaced him with their hand-picked alternative.

If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged. By violation of the Nuremberg laws I mean the same kind of crimes for which people were hanged in Nuremberg. And Nuremberg means Nuremberg and Tokyo. So first of all you've got to think back as to what people were hanged for at Nuremberg and Tokyo. And once you think back, the question doesn't even require a moment's waste of time. For example, one general at the Tokyo trials, which were the worst, General Yamashita, was hanged on the grounds that troops in the Philippines, which were technically under his command (though it was so late in the war that he had no contact with them -- it was the very end of the war and there were some troops running around the Philippines who he had no contact with), had carried out atrocities, so he was hanged. Well, try that one out and you've already wiped out everybody.
