 There's no way I'm going to swallow the argument that Hitler was "wrong"
 only because he lost the war. This is a very dangerous position to take
 as there are many who will then use "similiar means" to "condone" their
 own actions. 

 In light of this "philosophy" which you and Spence propagated, are/were the
 American Indians/Native Americans WRONG to oppose the usurpation of their
 lands, culture, population, etc by the "White-Devils"? After all, they 
 were on the "losing-side". Do they have ANY RIGHT to seek restitution from
 the "descendants"? SHould we go ahead and "finish them off" because WE'RE
 RIGHT? (According to your theory anyway!)

 I find such attitudes to be REPREHENSIBLE and Disgusting!
