	What grande determinism is shown by John Mullen of France who has
just stated that "dictators don't even make themselves dictators."
Instead, I presume, otherwise liberal individuals are driven by historical
circumstances to open prison camps, and destroy their opposition. 

	In the spirit of the great trumpeter Hugh Rodwell I ask our friend
Mullen to SUBSTANTIATE! Tell us what circumstances drove Adolf Hitler to
open the camps? You did say ALL dictators, did'nt you? Is this really a
view of history that you defend, or did your fingers slip on the keyboard?
