I mean, seriously, it's ludicrous to argue that the study of one of the most dangerous men in the last millennium will lead to, what, the next Hitler coming to power? Mein Kampf is hardly the rantings of a lunatic. It's the rantings of a dangerous, villainous charismatic politician who pushed western civilization to the brink of destruction. The real peril is in failing to study how his mind worked.
