I've just been watching Steve McQueen in The Great Escape, a story about American soldiers caught by nasty Germans and held prisoner during WWII. The soldiers are held in internment camps, and are subjected to verbal and physical abuse. The Germans are comical although serious, so we will stay scared throughout the movie, but basically they are a joke.
For the most part the Natzis are treated comically as buffoons.
How will history treat us? As buffoons, who line up naked people in a pyramid as though it is a joke? As though we are justified in saying that we are the only country worth following? Or should we be AMONG the countries who are leading?
