Adolf Hitler differed from a large fraction of the human race only in that he was in the right place at the right time to actually realize a substantial part of his dreams. He was very, very human (as were the millions who assisted him). Calling him an inhuman monster is denial. Calling him a politician, on the other hand, is a simple statement of fact. > Sid on the other hand is just a loser with an attitude to cover up for > the fact that he's a zillion times more stupid than he thinks he is.

For some values of "human". > Calling him an inhuman monster is denial. > Calling him a politician, on the other hand, is a simple statement of > fact. It is not denial. Politician or not, a man who decides that six million Jews must all be exterminated and then actually puts this into realization is a monster. >> Sid on the other hand is just a loser with an attitude to cover up >> for the fact that he's a zillion times more stupid than he thinks he >> is. > > Sid is just an ordinary netkook.
