hi kim.. in response to:

I think that love can come quite apart from the issue of accepting or condoning behavior. But... Do we love Hitler and co? Don't know...

for me, this is the part of love that needs clarification.. love is not always loving whatever people do, but (for me) is caring about what others might do and how thier personal actions affect not only themselves, but the others around them... love for Hitler might mean something like praying for or encouraging such a person to seek medical and mental health before such atrocities are committed.. there was a serious lack of love in someone like Hitlers life before history was made... love in the precedent might have altered history..
