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.

This was a very good post and I agree with most of it. The only part I was confused about, was the 1st line "I don't think Hitler was evil with no soul". When I 1st read it, I interpretted it as "he was evil with a soul". Then I started doubting my interpretation and became confused. So would you mind explaining - do you think Hitler was evil??? I and most think he was.

I think there are people who are very evil and they have 0 empathy and don't care about the suffering of their victims. To them dismembering a person is no different than carving a turkey. People who hunt and kill children are evil.
