Well not that easy - being wise. I wasn't suggesting an equivalence between DLM and the Hitler Youth - simply pointing out that the same set of values that Paddy was suggesting had given his involvement with DLM could equally have been claimed by those who were involved with the Hitler Youth.

And I certainly was not invoking 'guilt', which with all its religious accretions is a deeply unhelpful mindset. That (IMO) doesn't mean though that the fact of our involvement should  be 'sugared over' - we supported a deeply harmful set up which continues to blight the lives of tens of thousands - Rawat is busily taking rupees from some of the poorest people on the planet - you and me Lexy helped set him up to do that. We may not be 'guilty' but we are responsible.
