All too often inaction is more evil than any action ever could be. Hundreds of thousands of people made this possible in both situations. At least those two morally void psychopaths own their evil. Refer to all the Nazi leaders bullshit excuses when they were tried for war crimes down the road. If anything I have less respect for the people that rode this train to get rich off the deaths of millions than the ones who were perpetuating that slaughter. *Looks at IBM*
