We have gone from a world without dictators to a world with one, and we can't reverse that. The logical place to focus our efforts would seem to be the next step which has not been taken, which could very well be resurrecting Hitler.

Seriously? I did not think a discussion of Eurisko could be Godwinned. Bravo.
