I think it does apply. Or are you really saying we should judge an individual based on the actions of their ancestors? I'm sure we all have some ancestor somewhere in our lineage that has done a "bad" thing, does that make us all bad people then?
Maybe I'm alone in the belief that a person should be judged on their own actions and not on another's.

You can judge him by his own actions all you want, but as I said, I refuse to project the actions of a person's ancestors on them, regardless of who they are or how tempting it may be. I'm not a fan of Bush, but I don't find any benefit in looking at his grandparents when making an opinion of him. What they did is what they did and what he does is what he does, there is no blending in my opinion. I have no desire to be looked at in terms of those who came before me and I will not look at others in that light in order to make a point or justify a belief in them.

| Originally posted by NeoPhono We're talking about GW's grandfather and the Nazis, right? So, we're talking 1930's to 1940's. GW was born in 1946 which pretty much coincides with the fall of Nazi Germany. Unless GW was conspiring with the Nazis as a fetus, or somehow went back in time to work with grandpa Bush, I fail to see how what his grandfather did has any bearing on GW. With the Hussein boys, you have a clear time line where they worked alongside their father committing atrocities. You can draw direct ties between what Saddam did and what his sons did. GW wasn't even alive when his grandfather did whatever it is he may have done. Again, I can't fault someone for something that happened via the hands of an ancestor before they were even born. |

| Originally posted by shaolin_Z Although there is a clearer relation between Sadaam and his son, but that's not what you originally said at all and still has nothing to do with what I said. |
Big woop I say.
My ancestry goes back to the Vikings, that doesn't mean I rape and pillage...
Sure one may have genetic tendencies or traits but becoming a traitor? AFAIK, being a traitor isn't a genetic trait...
