88. I do not presume to tell anyone how to grieve for anyone.
It is beyond my power to do this. It is also beyond my power to punish anyone for their sins, altho I can politically work toward that goal in a system of justice.

But I just do not feel it is right to celebrate anyone's death before their time, even tho I would have probably done anything I could to defeat Hitler, including plot to kill him (as a matter of self defense and to save his victims). I know some put Cheney in the Hitler mode but I am hesitant to do that as a history example, altho I would like to see him tried for war crimes and sentenced to a life sentence.

Those are just the rambling of an old liberal...
