If you could, would you go back in time and kill Hitler as a baby?

The New York Times Magazine posed the question to readers, and the answer was pretty inconclusive. But Twitter users had some great reactions to the odd survey:

.@NYTmag I would take Baby Hitler and raise him as my own, putting his powers to use for good instead of evil.

How many babies am I allowed as collateral damage here, @NYTmag? Can I use another baby as a weapon?
