Straw man. I'm not saying that we should not study the man to everyone's intellectual contentment and just caricature him. I would say that it is a cop-out to refrain from taking a moral stance, as though afraid to recognize that some values are indeed superior to others. If one cannot identify Hitler as evil, then one's philosphy seems useless and even self-destructive, but I think such thinking is just more symptomatic of living comfortably in liberal, democratic society - too coddled. People need to be able to tell the difference between a bin Laden and a Gandhi. How smart can one be if one cannot tell the difference between night and day?
