A large 16-ton state of Vladamir Lenin, also known as "The Godfather of Terrorism" stands in Seattle, Washington, where it has been feted for years by its supporters:

Over 55,000,000 human beings were slaughtered during the Cold War (1945-1991), the majority exterminated in China, Russian, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Lenin was the original creator of the concentration camp, a device that was put in use in the late 20's in Russia in the infamous gulags. Lenin's concept was later exported to Germany.
When I lived in Seattle, I was amazed to find a statue of a Communist murderer in a major American city,standing in the middle of the street corner, where, every year the Communist Party of America (and various groups) would place garlands around Vlad's neck.
