It's a little different. Noone knew the death counts of communism back then, and essentially America went to war because they were afraid that communism might spread to their shores and take over the government. I'm sure if they had known the full atrocoties of the USSR, they would've done something, but they were just trying to stop communism as an ideal rather than the Soviet Union as a country.
Plus, noone knew the death count of the nazis either until their downfall.
