Then there would be plenty of people on this page that would chime in. I note a distressing number of Nazi sympathizers on this page, blaming the world's ills on the Jews in virtually the precise language and terms used by Hitler in "Mein Kampf." Cloaking their racist bigotry under the cloak of "Oh, it wasn't THOSE Jews---it was the Khazarians." Or the Zionists. Or some other brand of coffee that they can feel unashamed to drink. It is disgusting.

If you have ever read "Mein Kampf" you will find it to be a much different document than most people think. That is because most people have only some kind of cartoon in place where a conception should be. Hitler is an interesting and acute observer of politics in the pre-WW I Austro-Hungarian empire. He is also an astute political organizer. One can see how he formulated his fuhrer-prinzip as a counterpoint to rule by committee (which is how he saw the failure of the Austro-Hungarians). There is much that he is right about, but we have been conditioned not to try to understand such persons. Probably because we might discover a basis for some respect. Hitler was a formidable person capable of great things---unfortunately, great chaos and evil things. We should have more respect for a man it took all the great powers of the world to defeat. Not adulation, but a grim respect, as for a cunning and dire predator. He was not a madman. That should be a very chilling realization.
