Europeans Clamber For Moral High Ground

As if another article describing Europe's dissatisfaction comes as a shock to anyone. The opening paragraph is a killer:

The execution of convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams sparked outrage Tuesday in Europe, where many have a deep aversion to capital punishment sustained by the memory of state-organized murder during the Nazi era.

Yeah, ok, Hans. Executing a murderer with multiple convictions is the same as Nazis doing what?

UPDATE: I got into a little dust-up in the comments of this post. The prevailing reasoning (if it can be called that) of the left regarding the Tookie Williams situation is this:

Nazis killed people.

Americans are killing Tookie Williams.

Americans are Nazis.

QED

Sorry, but that facile argument doesn't wash.
