In the U.S. today, we hear many of these same comments by anti-war activists. They claim President Bush is only prolonging a war that can't be won and the American people are tired of war and want peace. It was no secret that Germany was against the war in Iraq and it is interesting that Sophie Scholl is a German made film that was released in 2005. Having said that, I think the similarities are merely coincidental and were not intended by the director. I read an interview with him on the official Sophie Scholl website and didn't get even the slightest hint that this was his intent. I believe the director intended those comments to remain within their historical context: Nazi Germany in 1943. Besides, the difference between the Nazi's start of WWII and the U.S. regime change in Iraq are vastly different.Ryan Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490459996675241605noreply@blogger.com
