Believing something is right does not justify it.

The political system of one man having the opportunity to govern the finances, foreign affairs, internal affairs and so on of a country as powerful as Germany at the time of World War II or the United States at present day is IMHO a system that is ready for a drastic change. Realism, or the ability to act rational for the same matter, is a principle that I think is bestowed to no one on this planet. Sure, you can tell yourself you live by the 'globally accepted' moral values [such as who is evil, and what is considered good] but emotion is a far more powerful tool than being rational is being realistic. In the heat of battle no one is innocent. Solemnly blaming Hitler for what happened in WWII is as stupid as placing the blame on the guy who scored the own goal that lost the match.

You forget that Bush has to answer to the Senate, Hitler didn't answer to anyone but himself.

Now he may convince the US population of things the rest of the world does not believe, but even on this level, Bush is nothing like Hitler, who was extremely charismatic and well liked. [ 09-22-2004, 12:12 PM: Message edited by: Ronn_Bman ]

He took his own life because people were coming to kill him, and he'd not want to give anyone that satisfaction. Plus he was insane the last months of his life because of drugs given to him by his doctor.

But allow me to rephrase the question, seeing as people seem unwilling to look beyond face value... Why would the opinions of 'six million dead jews' regarding absolute morality matter to a moral relativist? [/QUOTE]You are correct, to a moral relativist everything is relative so the opinions of and about 6,000,000 killed humans means nothing. But then to a moral relativist the opinions of 6,000,000,000 living humans means nothing either, including the moral relativist's opinion, so who gives a rat's rear end what a moral relativist thinks, they don't even care so why should anybody else?
