I wish I were.
We saw what happened at Abu Ghraib after the enemy--the "Islamofascist"--had been dehumanized.
Hitler may have hade some serious personality disorder or whatever. But Hitler and his followers were not stir crazy madmen. They were mostly like you and I. Some where more driven and calculated. Others were just cowards--followers. The Africans welcomed the Germans because they treated them better than the British did.
I even go so far as to put some of the blame for Abu Ghraib on Spielberg. Actions have consequences. I believe in responsibility and accountability. Ignorance is not a defense.
What did the Abu Ghraib scandal bring? A ban on cell phone cameras! If they had had cell phone cameras in Nazi Germany, 6 million Jews might have been saved. It wasn't like politicians in Europe and America were oblivious. They just couldn't believe what they heard.
