They did the same thing about Afghans themselves during the withdrawal. Much was said about American losses and few about the 60K Afghans who gave their lives to keep their country free.

More and more people in Europe assume Americans are okay with this because they don't see how much he's hurting us as well.

I am surprised it was so few.

The cooperation this administration has been shown has been horrific.

I mean what is the training? They're not supposed to be treating people like criminals as immigration is a civil violation.

4. Did the Comedian die weeping because he was overwhelmed by the horror of what Veidt was going to do (showing his persona, like Rorshach's, wasn't real) or did he die weeping because he BELIEVED Veidt was going to stop the apocalypse? Thus ruining his nihilism?

Thoughts?

3. Note that he wasn't Rorschach when he died either. He was Kovacs and died as a man not a mask. Perhaps another sign that he had his own form of redemption as he is the kind of guy who would save the world if he had the choice. Ironically, this means he does live up to his creed unlike the others.

2. Alan Moore thought Rorshach was a monster and was stunned anyone would like him but I think he's the only "hero" who has any sense of integrity. I think Moore forgot that some people really do believe in doing the right thing over pragmatism. Even in the face of Armageddon.

True, the baddies do love their royal titles: Emperor Ariakas, Kingpriest, and Queen Takhasis.

I only read a very little bit of Dragonlance. I never realized the setting didn't have monarchs! It always struck me as so very High Fantasy that I assumed they must be around somewhere.

It might have saved billions, though. Certainly, Kylo massacred the school minutes later. But we can blame bad writing and miscommunication too. :D

At this point, I'd vote for Elmo over Trump.
