16. Willie Willie Willie hanging out with Crazy Tom way to much, sometimes you just need to keep your mouth shut and don't say anything at all especially when you don't know what the heck you are talking about

19. Oh, oh. You'd better talk to Mel for an educated heads up about pissing off THIS faction. There is no grey; only black and white views allowed regarding Hitler and Jewish public opinion. Will is trying to clumsily and unsuccessfully get out some kind of thought here, but everyone knows he is a good hearted and well intentioned, albeit foot in mouther here. Lay off him; he's not a well versed history prof making outrageous statements. He must have had a few conversations with Cruise regarding that Hitler movie and is probably thinking a few thoughts about the past and defunct Fuhrer. This also sounds incomplete, and may be taken out of context. Will would never knowingly hurt anyone or any group. He is a positive force.

20. I agree that what he said was a wrong choice of words. He is a smart person from a respectable family (c'mon he got into MIT!), who said something dumb. Even smart people say dumb things (unless he continues to say such things, in which case, he's becoming old and senile).

21. So sick of thd damn Jewish people always palying the role of martyrs even to this day. Of course what happened to them, and many polish people were horrible, but at all points in time all races, religions have been persecuted. I think the rag-mag probably juced up his words, but sounds like he was trying to say that something mad Hitler turn evil, that he just didnt wake up one day and ecide to be evil. But of course, the jewish people will turn this into him being anti-semetic.

You cant say one word about the jewish people in any negative way, or you will be called anti-semetic.

It was horrible, but over three thousand Polish people died, but you never hear this, and they dont dwell, and use it as an excuse for lifes agenda.

I like Will, and he seems like a kind person, and if thats his statment- so what! We all talk about every other race, and its offendors. Why should the Jewish people be exempt?

22. That's like saying members of the KKK, does not get up everyday with the bad intention of ridding the earth of all races, except their own, It is intentional Will! It was intentionally Hitler's plan to do just that, and everyday that he was in power he never changed his mind, or rethought is actions, or considered those that he was hurting, and killing.
I think Will is an optimist, and would like to believe that all people are inherently good, BUT a some point all that was good in Hitler turned into pure hatred, and evil,

23. Again.
It does not work, that one man can be all bad for himself !

We are living now in the third generation, with the lost World War
II and still without the up to now not realized 'New Marshall Plan': "One Man for every
20 Thousend women."


We rested worldwide human. Merry Christmas.

24. What's wrong with Will's statement? "...set out to do what HE THOUGHT was 'good.'". I don't see a problem.

25. People are WAY to touchy about this subject. Will is right! Adolph did think what he was doing was right. Yes obviously Adolph Hitler was a homicidal nutcase and we all see that, including Will, but you have to realize Hitler obviously thought what he was doing was right. He didnt see anything wrong with killing millions of Jews. In his messed up head he was doing the right thing. Its no different than terrorists who kill in name of Allah. They truly believe they are serving their God although majority of public understands this is nuts - they dont think its nuts at all. Will isnt siding with or saying Adolph was good guy he is simply stating the trtuth about how Hitler viewed the Holocaust.

26. Yeah and the reason the Jews are in an uproar is because, like everyone else, INCLUDING the ignorant at TMZ, they didn't READ the whole comment and don't have the DEPTH to understand what he was trying to say. No one cares about the PC Police anymore. Merry Christmas. Looking for a story where there is none, no that NEVER happens here. Roll eyes at this crap.

27. Hitler strengthened the German economy, built thier autobahn, the Volkswagen (people's car) beetle was created under his rulership as well as he drastically reduced crime in Germany by not putting up with thugs and actually punishing them. ( we should try that in the US). So in a sence he did do some good. HOWEVER he was also a crazy murdering lunatic who killed many jews, disabled people and german gentiles who were against the Nazi regime. But people - the zeitgiest of the time was that the entire world hated the jews. France sent back to Germany train loads of Jews during the war when they KNEW there were jewish death camps.
Not the same but similarly the US knows there is genocide in Darfur and are not doing anything about it. Read your history- educate yourself.
Will, not the best choice of words.....
And the Jewish anti def league should not be hypocritical and instead of worrying about a celebrity, should fight for thier fellow humans being slaughtered in Darfur.

30. Well, so far Will has managed to say all the right things, however, being a big star in Hollywood, you knew a PR blunder was coming sooner or later. People, keep your mouths CLOSED. Don't try to theorize everything. That's why we have professors. Go shoot some more mutant Zombies in 2012 wasteland New York and quit offering opinions on Hitler. I don't think this is necessarily a career killer, but he'd better issue an apology quick or he'll find himself working security at Walmart with Wesley Snipes. When will we learn?
