Dude had a lot going for him.

He was a great speaker.

He was a great leader.

He was among the first to recognize the dangers of smoking and started the first anti-smoking campaign.

He was ironically big on compassion and humane treatment of animals.

He was a cunning militarist.

He bagged Evan Braun who was quite the smoke show.

The same way we learn more from mistakes than successes we can learn more by not underappreciating the strengths of even the worst enemies.
