I know warlight isn't really the place for politics and religion but since Hitler was raised here's some food for thought.

Churchill is regarded as one of Britain's fnest ever leaders yet he personally ordered the carpet bombing of germany that killed tens of thousands of women and children. It is deemed as OK because he was fighting an evil we all view as worthy of elimination and justify this act with this mentality.

What few history lessons ever tell you is how a far greater genocide was committed by the Jews who slaughtered tens of millions of Christians, 6 million in Ukraine alone and estimates of between 30 million to 60 million in the starvation/labour camps in the gulag and Hitler identified the Jews as an evil in a similar way to how we identify the Nazis as evil.

PS: I am not trying to justify any act of murder that has been carried out or suggest Hitler is a hero or anything of the sort, merely that the west has for decades painted an inaccurate picture of what really happened during that time. We celebrate Churchill in fighting evil yet he sided with Stalin who killed tens of millions more than Hitler did and was quite possibly responsible for Hitler marking the Jews for extermination in the first place.

Evil often begets evil. Hate often begets hate. Perhaps Churchill and Hitler were both victims of this cycle and we shouldn't be too hasty to judge.

raverbaby, I agree completely..
"He who won, fought fair" or..
"He who wins, writes the history"
more often then not.. evil is just something you don't understand, wanted by someone you don't understand..

well said raverbaby
