Do you know what I think is terribly sad...
Even today, men and women throughout history, who have done evil, unspeakable acts to people based on their culture, their skin color, their spirituality, their age, their size, their gender, and their sexuality...even today, from their graves, we still give up our power to them and allow them to continue to commit evil acts by allowing who they once were to divide us and allowing who they once were to continue to encourage hate, dis-trust, and bigotry.
I do not think that there is one culture, not one, that can say their hands are clean and that they have never, at some point in history, committed atrocities against humans.
The fact that someone was abused as a child does not discount the fact that they killed millions because they couldn't figure things out inside themselves, it merely offers insight in how they became a monster. When a rabid dog goes crazy and bites someone, people do not say "poor doggy....he's rabid because another animal bit him.", we say "the dog is rabid and it has now bitten someone due to it's madness. It is mad because it was infected with rabies. This animal must be stopped." and the dog is euthanized.
A rabid animal is a rabid animal, regardless of how it became that way and it needs to be dealt with accordingly.
