Misguided.

The Nazi regime in Germany has been gone for over 75 years now.  The Nazi regime was a horrible regime and a liberal one (as Jonah Goldberg at National Review has made something of a name for himself pointing out.)  But for some reason a fascination with it continues.  It is such a fascination that lead to the prosecution of John Demjanjuk.  Demjanjuk was a Soviet soldier in World War Two who was captured by the Germans, ended up working at a concentration camp (possibly by force) and then coming to America after the war.  In 2009 he was extradited to Germany and this week found guilty of being a former Nazi and sentenced to five years in prison.  He is 91 years old.  This is a man who was forced into service by the Soviets, became a POW of the Nazis and probably did whatever he had to do to survive before later starting a life in Ohio.  The whole trial was a circus and a joke.
