  him. Why a two-bit thug who enjoyed torturing and eating his victims is "fascinating" is alien to me. We already know all we need to know about the man.
  Now Stalin, Hitler, or Mao? They're not interesting in and of themselves but in what they accomplished, both immense good and immense evil.
  Amin? A despot in a tinpot.

    That's the spin Whittaker put on his character. An all most innocent, wide-eyed exuberance counterbalanced by homicidal malevolence.

    
    

    
    Do you have the answer or are you part of the problem?

    Killing Jews is interesting where as killing Africans is not? WTF?

      stage of history.
      You forget WWII and all the years before wherein Adolph used German indebtedness and economic ruin to forge (okay, with the help of a lot of assassinations) a national unity and spirit. Yes, his military ambitions and adventures were extraordinarily destructive and caused a massive amount of loss of life, but would Germany be one of the strongest countries in the world today without having passed through that flame?
      Anyhow, you find Amin fascinating, I don't. But to equate them as historical figures is ludicrous.

        Um, actually, you were the first poster to bring up the names Hitler, Stalin, Mao. Ludicrous? I'd say that fits.

        I guess the difference, when you really get right down to it, is that Hitler took his evil to a grander scale, involving the entire World in an effort to eliminate him, whereas Amin's evil was more limited to his own country. It appears that Hitler's scale of evil has awakened a modicum of respect in you. Would not be the first time that that World looked past evil limited to the African continent. And I thought you empathized with those who have no voice.
