BlueMetalChick I'm not to big on him politically. He was a genocidal maniac with good PR. Some quotes:
On a 1943 famine in Bengal, and why he let 3 million die without sending food:
"If food is scarce, why isn't Gandhi dead yet?'
"Relief would do no good. Indians breed like rabbits and will outstrip any available food supply."

On the displacement of Arabs to create Israel.
“I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.”

On fascism and Mussolini
"What a man! I have lost my heart!… Fascism has rendered a service to the entire world… If I were Italian, I am sure I would have been with you entirely from the beginning of your victorious struggle against the bestial appetites and passion of Leninism.”

I can go on and on and on and on. This is shit he -said- let alone the stuff he did. The dude is responsible for millions of deaths and was an insane racist and tyrant.
