    Bin Laden was terrible but I don’t know about him and hitler in the same category.

    He watched thousands of his own people and civilians get killed by the US before he reacted. Was his reaction wrong? Yes. Should he have stood trial in the US? Yes. Is he on the same scale as hitler? Not even close.

      Fair, wasn’t sure who else to include in the example… Mao? Lenin? The “scientist” who led all the human trials in the holocaust?
