Ask yourself this: How many victims did Hitler personally dispatch? All he did was ENABLE the horrible people, who still exist today, to carry out their vile desires. If you think it couldn’t happen where you live, you probably need to think again.
My taxes have contributed to the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis, Afghans and Libyans. That makes ME guilty too. Thanks a lot…
Also for Guatemala Efrains last name is just Rios Montt. It only accepts the whole name, not his last names
Good quiz
