This is a Comics related Watchmen question…which touches on some issues. Do you think that Rorscharch condones the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but opposes Veidt’s plans because the victims of the former are Japanese and the latter are white? Do you think Moore is trying to suggest a kind of unquestioned racism that makes it easier to condone and accept military justifications against non-white people?
