    Sorry but there is an assumption implicit in your argument that tyrants like Hitler are somehow not human and are exceptional and not really a part of humanity

    Never claimed or implied that. So don’t really have anything to respond to here as this is all entirely unrelated to what I was saying.

      Perhaps I am failing to make you understand that in my mind, Axis and Allies are a part of one larger group, humanity. Hitler starting the war to conquer Europe is a failing of humanity, in this case failing of Germans to stop Hitler from sparking the war. I am not saying that Allies responding in kind, with violence is failing. It was only appropriate. They most likely were left with no other choice.

        Therefore, on the individual level there are in fact times when violence is the answer, even if that’s just because it is the only answer remaining.
