So Hitler was 'right'?
You know, it's an interesting coincidence that this came up. I was watching the Band Of Brothers "Why We Fight" episode last night, and it's rather remarkable how similar the plot to that episode is to Three Kings, and in many ways to the current and recent situation in Iraq. You have a major conflict that's come (or is coming) to an end, you have soldiers wondering what the point was (and incidentally, grabbing their spoils of war), and then you have The Discovery. In WWII, it was the death camps. In Iraq, it has been just how brutal Hussein, and then al Qaeda, was and is towards dissenters and civilians, not to mention our troops.
I wonder...I suspect...that this snatch-and-kill might be the death rattle of insurgency in Iraq.
