Now some may think I am sticking up for Hitler, but thats not what I am saying, I am saying I can understand what drove him to make choices he did. If we think for a moment that we as humans are not capable of such horrors then thats dangerous, I know sometimes in the past I cussed at someone in traffic profoundly, and in that second I wanted them dead!. I'm aware of this about myself now and that makes it easier to manage, some have such a distarious early life that their personality are so split that they can kill with one and not blink an eye lid whilst praying with the other. Infact a lot of that does go on in everyday life, Hitler was just an extreme. I can Identify with the horror of what he did, and also I can identify with the anger and self denial within him, that makes me whole, its not a justification. The ablity to do Evil things is in us all.

I wish I could thank you for each line. I particularly like the distinction you made in the last line. I reject the idea that any person is evil though I do believe that each of us can do evil things depending upon circumstance.
