Re: Watchmen
Yeah, except for the Japanese (and German and Italian)-American citizens we threw into work camps because we were mad at them for taking our jobs.
Or the American Muslims that were harassed for no particular reason after 9/11, and the thousands of foreign Muslims who were bombed and imprisoned but hadn't committed any actual crimes.
Or how the Japanese committed atrocities on Koreans and Chinese and prisoners of war. Or the way the Germans and Soviets heaped atrocities upon each other's civilian populations. And apparently there was some unpleasantness with the Jews as well.
And so on ad infinitem for all of human history.
Again, that's the point. Humans will unite against the "other", though that "other" can change over time, even from one day to the next.
Give all of humanity an "other" and thus unite them all, that was Ozy's plan.
