Godwin needs a holiday. Why is it always about killing Hitler? By all accounts, he was the personality, but hardly the lone or even preeminent tactition that drove the Third Reich to its high point before the Allies and Soviets spanked the Germans all the way back to Berlin. In the grand scheme of history though, Hitler was small potatos. So why, when mulling the fantasy of time travel, do people always target Hitler as the one historical tyrant whose premature death would most benefit mankind? Temujin was certainly a more vicious, and directly involved, tyrant. Stalin was quite the kill-happy douche. The Chinese had a few particulary nasty emperors over the centuries. it would seem more apropos that those of the Jewish persuasion would go after Pharoah and avoid that whole forty years of wandering. Or maybe the non-Jewish would want to take out Moses to avoid the insitutionalized genocide that was part and parcel of Jewish foreign relations for centuries. Pol Pot, anyone? Justinian would definitely be on my short list of candidates for early erasure. Is there a statute of limitations on the heinousness of genocide?
