How are Mr. Khadr's actions in any way comparable to Adolf Hitler's? How can they be characterized as "evil"? He was a 15 year old boy who threw a grenade at a soldier (a member of an occupying military force which had, moments earlier, killed every member of his group of militants (but himself and one other). Obviously, the loss of the soldier's life was sad and regrettable. And perhaps it was even "criminal" (although I have my doubts). However, I don't see how it could be called "evil".
