I don't think you can call Adolf Hitler a humanitiarian - after all he slaughtered a lot of people just because of their race, a humanitarian is one who not just seeks, but DOES help other human beings moreover a humanitarian cares about the rights of ALL human beings no matter where they are from, what gender or creed they carry. A true humanitarian, lets say Mother Teresa for an example will not turn ANYONE away, and is not out to HURT others even if it is to protect others. If being a humanitiarian is as simple as wanting to help "others" you'd have a harder time saying who ISN'T a humanitarian since most people at least have ONE other person they want to help, under that definitioon just helping an old lady makes yoou a humanitatian - am I a humanitarian because I tend to hold a door open for others by helpiung them? Not really, a humanitarian strives and suceeds to help EVERYONE they possibly can, its not something most people can claim to honestly be.
