Well no, if we go back, instead of Hitler killing himself, and instead, locking him up in jail, we would still have Jews, he instigated the movement, and was responsible for many deaths, as is Saddam, but killing him would not stop future murders, nor would it stop those of the past. Imagine all the things we could have learned if he was still alive, maybe we could have found more concentration camps sooner, saving lives, maybe he would become like Stanley Tookie Williams III, one of the founders of the Crips, Tookie was convicted of several cold blooded murders, and was placed in jail on death row, he eventually fixed his ways, he became an outspoken opponent of violence and started writing children’s books, he has been nominated for 5 Nobel peace prizes. Hitler could have also reformed, or been an outspoken proponent of violence, we don’t know. However, if he was in jail, for the rest of his life, he could no longer hurt anyone ever again.

Now, let us bring our men and women home. It is my hope that his death signals the beginning of the end of our involvement in Iraq.

The sad thing is this is not about saddam, the insurgents are not fighting us because of saddam; they are fighting us because we are in their country.

And if you don’t respect her point of view, how do you intend to change it. Change comes through debate, or through force. Since you are apposed to force, debate is the only other way. If you are not willing to have a civil discussion where can we go from here, things will not change if we don’t try to change them. Lady Sage joined my group hug, come on Ch’I.
