It seems I got nothing to say this week. My week of comic books covers the range of the Shoah to Iron Man II but I don’t have much else to say on either thing. I did find something interesting while watching Iron Man II that relates to another class I am taking. This week in my political science class we are discussing the four forms of force. One of these forms is deterrence. In class, we discussed how it is impossible to know if deterrence is working because if it is working then nothing happens. But it could be that nothing is happening because nobody is plotting anything. In Iron Man II during Tony Stark’s testimony to a Senate committee, he states that he is the United States deterrence and the world’s longest lasting peace was because of him. Maybe he is a deterrent and maybe nothing was going on because all the u enemies were off doing something else during that time.
Guess you just had to be there.
