RE: "Both nazis and terrorists, profound incarnations of evil, had there genesis in more benign evil committed by others." and "What benign evil are you talking about that caused terrorism and nazism????"

Since "benign evil" is probably an oxymoron, consider that I said "more benign evil."

For example, the Treaty of Versailles after WWI was extremely harsh on Germany. That was not surprising because the victors, England and France, lost a generation of young men, millions. WWI was the culmination of the evil of European colonial competition and militaristic nationalism. So evil begat evil, WWI, begat evil, Nazis, begat evil, WWII and the Holocaust, in an ascending crescendo toward hell.

Nukes will propel us on to another "ascending crescendo toward hell."
