I'd want to, but I can't say I would considering I haven't killed the (self proclaimed Jew hater) Jew hating Hitler in charge of Iran.

No, because if I kill Hitler, that basically changes the world as we know it - it prevents all the consequences and social changes and progress that occured because of WWII. If Hitler dies, there will still be a power vaccuum in Germany, a population of disappointed and resentful people, a declining economy (as a result of the huge reparations placed on Germany's head following WWI), and there will still be the opportunity for somebody else to arise as a radical statesman to solve their problems - alternatively, the country may become weakened and fracture back into the states it existed in before Bismarck's time (which may make it easier for other countries to become dominant and create war, and 'swallow' the German states up). How do I know that by preventing Hitler from rising to power, I don't lead the world to an alternate future that is equally bad or worse? For example - Without Germany as a major power in Europe, will Stalinist Russia swallow more countries up, much sooner?

I would have first decided if I could have changed him and, thus, changed the course of history. If I could not then, yes, I would kill Hitler without even a second thought.
