Bah! The side issue makes sense and has some connection with the original discussion. I don't have a problem with it. I still say that Naziism was a disease. Germany caught the disease. Germany was cured of the disease. The fact that they had a disease says nothing about the character of Germans.

I don't think there was anything especially German about Naziism. It is interesting that it happened there, but I think we have to be careful about making any conclusions from that.
