Wanna hear something really spooky? In early 2008, I was in Washington DC and visited the Holocaust Museum to see an exhibit about one of the Polish ghettos during the Nazi regime. (I can't recall the name of the town.) There was a collection of propaganda posters that the Nazis had displayed in the ghetto. One was translated to say something like, "The Nazi Party Means Jobs! Food! and Free Healthcare for All!" Made me sick to my stomach.

As with Tom Clancy and Robert Heinlein, it's the villains that are often the most interesting characters and the heroes that seem flat and unsympathetic. I think Woodrow Wilson Smith, Jubal Harshaw, Valentine Michael Smith, Wyoming Knott, Mycroft Holmes (Adam Selene), to mention only a few seemed neither flat nor unsympathetic, well the latter for being a sentient computer.
