my biggest take away from the article was something that i really belive in - democracy and liberty/ freedom win. (from last para)
i even support the Iraq war for that - ok there were no WMDs but there was one Very Sick Dictator thats gone now. hail to democracy cheers and i hope others are lucky to embrace it.
"Milgram didn't really explore why it was that Germans created death camps while Americans did not. The answer is liberty. In 1974, Milgram more generously noted, "It is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation in which he finds himself that determines how he will act." Americans have not escaped the natural human tendency to defer to authority. Instead, we have had the good fortune to find ourselves in the situation where our social institutions have traditionally limited what authorities can get away with. The institutions of liberty are what enable people to act on what Lincoln called, "the better angels of our nature.""
