I am going to step in here and point out that there are many parallels between Hitler's rise to power in Germany and what is currently happening with the Bush administration. Both of them rose to power supported by a disaffected populace looking for someone to blame for the societal problems of the times. Both countries gave up civil rights in the name of nationalism. Both countries exercise their military strength in foreign countries explaining that they were needed to liberate oppressed people. And these are just points off the top of my head. How much detail do you want me to dig out supporting these claims? It's not hard to find the information.
As far as I can tell, the only people who don't see the similarities between the Bush administration and Hitler's administration (remember that he didn't work alone) are blinding themselves to history in the name of nationalism.
And keeping with the original thread, I really want to see this movie. It's been one of my favourite comic books for a long time and I'm anxious to see what's been done with it in the cinema.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
