Substitute "world" for "America", and I agree completely. Doesn't necessarily mean any random bar in Georgia (especially outside Atlanta metro) would agree with us.
One could make the case that Hitler was good for America. Bad for the world, obviously, especially Europe and certainly for the particular ethnic and cultural groups he targeted for elimination, but overall, good for America. Without WWII, American hegemony would have taken much longer to establish--we walked out of the war an economic and military powerhouse, and have remained that way until, well, George Bush's presidency, when it all went to hell in a multi-trillion dollar international-relations nightmare called Iraq.
