How would you know what a dead Nazi would think?
Well, the spirits of dead Nazis seem to be swimming in the current zeitgeist of a certain little Socialist Sparta.
First, Ha'aretz (note to Catspaw - that's an Israeli paper) published on 25 January 2002 an interesting article by Amir Oren, "At the Gates of Yassergrad":
"In order to prepare properly for the next campaign, one of the Israeli officers in the territories said not long ago, it's justified and in fact essential to learn from every possible source. If the mission will be to seize a densely populated refugee camp, or take over the casbah in Nablus, and if the commander's obligation is to try to execute the mission without casualties on either side, then he must first analyze and internalize the lessons of earlier battles - even, however shocking it may sound, even how the German army fought in the Warsaw ghetto."
Then there are the numbers marked by the Israelis on the hands and foreheads of Palestinian prisoners.
but how would I know what a dead Spanish-American philosopher thought anyway?
