I'm starting to think you're not able to have a friendly discussion about anything. No, I don't condone genocide. Did you really think I did? Regarding WW2 - the key error of your logic is that Hitler wasn't killing German Jews, but he invaded Poland and Russia and was killing Russian and Polish Jews. In other words, his genocide was combined with invasion of another sovereign nation. Furthermore, if you check the motivation of the USA, UK, and USSR - none of them were fighting to save Jewish lives - they were fighting to protect the rights of sovereign nations or to protect themselves. But then again, was Saddam actually committing genocide? Is this example even relevant? Or is it just another non-sequitor method of rhetoric, meant to used charged terminology in an effort to make whatever point you had. Well, in debate, a general rule of thumb is the first person to mention Hitler or the Nazis loses. I'm sure you are more creative than that, Bruce. -Notinterestedanymore

(...) See, with that kind of non-sequitor answer you are just encouraging Lenny to dodge the question the same way. Nor was the question aimed at countries, it was aimed at him as a person. Let me direct it specifically at you: could any nation (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
