Zero -
A) if a history book explained Hitler's motivations by describing the mass majority of WW2's victims with such blame and scorn - it most certainly would be considered sympathetic and antisemetic. Worse you're doing it to back up a lame Hitler-Bush comparison.
B) Hitler's targets were a lot more specific then "anyone who disagreed with him". The periphial deaths involved with large scale war play do zero to negate that.
Jeanette - That bio doesn't really explain what I was getting at...plus he cut of most of his Palestinian ties 25 years ago. Abu Nidal was a mercenery for hire used by everyone from the IRA to the Japanese Red army. Sometimes they'd hire him just to take credit for terrorist actions. He was untouchable. His strongest relations were with Libya and most recently - Iraq, where he was found dead. The official story is he commited suicide but, in reality it's more likely that Saddam wanted him to train the Al Qaeda sects in Iraq, and when he refused, they assasinated him... even if you don't want to believe that, one thing is for certain.... Abu Nidal was living in a retirement complex near the Tibris set up for Senior Terrorists of virtually every terrorist group, both state sponsored or otherwise - regardless of affiliations.
