Who Watches the Watchmen?
July 28th, 2004
I finished reading Watchmen yesterday. It was good, if not a little disturbing at times, but one part of it struck me. (Spoilers ahead…) At the end of story, one of the characters stages an attack on New York City in order to prevent the start of World War III. In the face of an unknown adversary, former enemies unite in the name of peace.
I wonder what we would do in the same situation? An attack on New York City by a mysterious enemy, giving our country an unprecedented opportunity to unite with countries throught the world?
Oh wait…

Yeah,
People attacking other people because they don’t like them ( and we may agree and not care, or be happy that they are not attacking us ) is just like aliens attacking us because we ARE people.
The uniting factor was the lack of descrimination in that situation – aliens don’t just kill Americans.
There is no better them than me factor.
I am disappointed in you.
