Yes; it does matter WHY they do things. It does not matter whether an opponent is evil or not; the Nazis were evil, and it definitely mattered WHY they did things.

Actually, according the distorted reality these Ron Paul idiots live within, the Nazi's were perfectly justified.

We left the German people broken, poor and helpless after WWI. Our actions against them are far, far worse than anything we have done in the middle east.

Of course, these useful idiots don't have the testicular fortitude to defend the Nazi's like they defend Al Qaeda.

Erik, tell me how explaining somebody's motive for committing a crime is justifying said crime?

You are absolutely right -- We left the German people broken, poor and helpless after WWI. That was a contributing factor to the rise of the Nazis. But that does not justify their actions.

If you don't understand the difference between describing a criminal's motivations and justifying their actions, I feel sorry for you.
