Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for March 23, 1986
Transcript:
Hobbes: How come we play war and not peace? Calvin: Too few role models. I'll be the fearless American defender of liberty and democracy. And you can be the loathsome godless communist oppressor. We're at war, so if you get hit with a dart, you're dead and the other side wins, ok? Hobbes: Gotcha. Calvin: Go! Kind of a stupid game, isn't it.
On the other hand, there are those who believe we didn’t do enough to protect the Jews (and others, like gays and Gypsies) from Hitler, or the people of Libya from their “beloved” dictator.
(Posted, of course, after the 2011 Arab-state revolutions from Tunisia to the Persian Gulf, and while Libya is in the throes of a Civil War vs. Col. Moammar Gadhafi.)
