Contrary to popular religious opinion I dont believe any child is born evil ("born in sin"). So rather than killing the kid I´d lead it to other paths of education.
Yours is a variation of the basic philosophical question of "would you kill one to save millions", to which I do not have the answer because the answer depends on many, many factors.
Simply put, the only way you could kill Hitler before he was born would be to kill or severely injure his mother during pregnancy, or kill his father before intercourse occured.

OK, I'll repeat my question (to the OP or anyone else who feels inclined to answer):
why not "kill" Princip, then?
Without WW I there would be no WW II.
The answer(s) will, hopefully (if they are based on the knowledge of historical facts), clearly show the absurdity of Hitler-centred retroactive killing plans.

[Or, you could go Back to the Future on him and just see to it that the mother or father falls in love with you instead of each other, therefore they never do the deed, no baby Hitler and then no one has to die.
Some historians argue that WWI and WWII were one war with a hiatus of a few years.

Why should I kill HIM? He has done some goods.
The Jews caused more than 11 million deaths after WW II, USA has caused more deaths than he did.
Just why he killed so many Jews? something wrong with Jews?
By the way if were saying we could go back in time, then I should clone Hitler into dozens of him and put some in Israel.
