You are correct. I glossed over the particular achievement of Hitler's that caused Arnold to admire him. But as you went on to say (or imply), most of us are not so able to compartmentalize that we can admire the man for that achievement when we consider the totality of his career. In particular, I wouldn't think a politician would be able to get away with it. But then I was proven wrong. I don't know whether I was wrong because the majority of people think its OK to admire Hitler for some parts of his career, or I was wrong because most people don't read the papers and confuse movie roles with capabilities and experience. Its hard for me to decide which possibility distresses me the most.
