So, my question is, what makes the others so special over Hitler? Stalin was on the winning side? He only killed his own people? The way the murders were made? Please tell me! Dont get me wrong, Iīm not defending Hitler, just curious.

Good point Dowly!
Just like one could say that America during WWII was perhaps the most evil by slaughtering
214,000 innocent Japanese with the drop of not one (1) but two (2) atom bombs
in just 3 DAYS! No other country in history has sunk or stooped to that level. Especially when America was obviously going to win the war against Japan anyways. It just made the war end a lot quicker for America and some argue that dropping the bomb(s) saved lives. I still doubt that an equal or greater amount of lives were spared by dropping the bomb(s) on Japan. Yes, more American lives were spared, but not lives in gerneral and certainly not innocent lives. Troops are not innocents, they get paid to kill and die for their causes. Also, Japan's civilian leadership was in the plans for trying to end the war and surrendering anyways!
Edit: New information has surfaced...
"Last year, the toll came to
379,776 people who have died directly as a result of the bombs." Posted by meloukhia on June 24, 2006 at "this ain't livin"
