Adolf Hitler is, of course, racist and anti-Semitic to the core - a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide. He was also, however, an individual of great courage, a soldier's soldier in the Great War, a political organizer of the first rank, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him.

Adolf Hitler is a man whose success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, of the character flaws, of the weakness masquerading as morality - in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path.

Bill Clinton is a man whose foreign policy experience is pretty much confined to having had breakfast once at the International House of Pancakes.
