1. Haha...as bad as Bush was, though, Hitler was much much worse.

[Flaxbee]

3. in the long run -- who knows, right?

Hitler certainly was efficient, got a lot of killing in during a relatively short period of time, but the repercussions of Bush are unknown.

And I don't really understand why Hitler is always promoted as chief monster, when Stalin and Mao each had a hell of a lot more people killed than Hitler did.

4. Stalin didn't invade as many other countries to do his mass murdering

Because, you know, genocide begins at home.

[conscious evolution]

8. Thats the difference right there.

Stalin and Mao were content to slaughter their own poulation.
Hitler wanted to slaughter most of the planets population.

[quakerboy]

5. I understand why

its because we "beat" Hitler. So he is a bad guy, but he's safe to hate on cause we whupped 'im. If we start hating on the Stalin and the Mao, we would have to explain why we didn't do shit about it.

Short form... Hate Hitler, Happy feel. Stalin and Mao... wussie feel.

[Danger Mouse]

6. We didn't 'do shit' about Stalin and Mao because they were killing their own people.

Not invading other countries and killing theirs.

[Danger Mouse]

7. Uh, sorry, I'm pretty fucking sure Hitler was worse.

Unless you want to try to argue that somehow The Holocaust wasn't quite as bad as Bush.

[Orrex]

9. Yeah, that's a tough point to argue

Fallujah is pretty damn bad, as is all of Iraq of course, but the raw numbers and brutally systematic nature of the Holocaust really kind of set it apart.

2. Ha!
