* The filmmaker then went on to say that preemptive war is wrong and would have been immoral even in the case of Adolf Hitler. Moore said he would have prevented Hitler from assuming power in the first place. I didn't have time to ask him how he would have done that, but I assume commandos would have been involved.

This shows Moore's utter ignorance of history. Adolf Hitler himself never won an election. He ran against General von Hindenburg for President in 1932 and lost. He never held an elective office--he couldn't, until 1932 he wasn't even a German citizen! The Nazi Party won a plurality (never a majority) of seats in the Reichstag--something like 270 out of 600+, if I remember right--and managed to gum up the works of the Weimar government enough that eventually, the half-senile Hindenburg appointed Hitler Chancellor.

After that, within a month, the Reichstag burned (courtesy of Hermann Goering and Nazi operatives), and Hitler was able to ram his "Enabling Act" through the Reichstag that basically let him rule by decree.

So yeah, in 1932, I suppose Moore could've sent his "commandos" to kill Hitler, but it's possible (not likely, but quite possible) that the Nazis could've put someone else in his place--probably Goering, who was President of the Reichstag by then.

Proof, once again, that Moore is a Mooron.

The correct respone to "Hitler was elected", and I always like to add: Hitler and his Nazis were socialist, not conservative.
