[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shoot Hitler when he was in the hospital for WWI sounds. 55 million people then get saved.[/quote]

I have a feeling that if it were not him then there would have been a different guy and the outcome would be the same. I think undoing all that led to the WW2 or best yet both WW1 and 2.. would be more effective  and would save even more people. [/quote]

I don't know. Some people more than others have a remarkable ability to encourage others to coalesce around them and carry out their agenda. Say what you will about Trump, he has this ability -- for better or ill depending on your politics. I think it's too facile to say there would have been another Hitler who did all that Hitler did. Perhaps, but not at that time or in that place, and perhaps not with such breadth. Murdering 6 million Jews is an astounding work but thousands of Jews were routinely massacred throughout medieval Europe and even later. The fact that he managed to set up camps to do it systematically, and murder 6 million non-Jews besides, is really amazing (in an awful way of course). Even if someone else had Hitler's politics could he have come up with the same system, the same effectiveness?

You can't undo all evil in the world with one deed. Killing Hitler and preventing the Holocaust would be a great deed. But so would many others in history. What about curing the bubonic plague? Preventing the colonization of the Americas or at least preventing it from happening with so much disease? Etc. [/quote]
