Moral dilemma question:

If you could go back in time to this moment and had ONE CHANCE to kill Hitler (thus preventing WWII) with a machine gun or grenade, would you take it knowing the children would also be killed?

The moral dilemma is the fact that the world has not learned from the lessons that war gave us...

Hindsight is 20/20...There cannot be a time-machine to go back and correct a known historical occurance...

If Hitler had not come along when he did, there would have been someone else to do evils bidding...

It may have been a different set of circumstances, different results, but the outcome would have been the same...And our future would have been ripe for repeating the same mistakes we have made since then as well...

It is in the nature of human existance to do these things, and repeat them as needed and as the situations dictate...
