  the essay has a business- and development-related focus, but many of the tips are general and useful in breaking down claims from anyone, including religious claims.

  here's one telling excerpt: .

  Let's give Hitler a nuclear bomb.
  He has to promise to use it the right way though.

  Of course, he's a man of his word! Oh wait, that's right, he's DEAD and laying on the ashheaps of history.

  What do you think, do we have the right to tell other countries what to do?

  When the President of Iran claims that the Holocaust did not exist; the country of Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth; and when he looks forward to helping user in the Muslim messiah at Armageddon then YES, I think the WORLD should not permit that psycho wack job to obtain nuclear weapons and plunge the whole world into WWIII.

  But the world won't have the guts to do it, and yes, there probably will be a nuclear war in our lifetime when they get the bomb. Under treaty, Germany was not suppose to rearm after WWI, but nobody wanted to stop them in the early 1930's.... they argued that they had a 'right' to be armed as much as anyone. You know the rest of the story, along with the estimated 40-50 million people who died during WWII.
