It bugs me no end when folks try to tell me Watchmen was an original idea.

Even at the time, a lot of people thought it was an original idea.

Someone faking an alien invasion? Superheroes doing it, perhaps, though I recall a comic or two that also used scientists faking alien invasions to bring about peace on Earth well before Watchmen came out. Watchmen is a well written story, not to my taste though, and very overrated.Even at the time, a lot of people thought it was an original idea.
Re: Paul Krugman: Fake Alien Invasion Would End Economic Slump (No Kid
The ending did disappoint me when it first came out, after such a huge buildup (and a wait of about a year for that last issue). But with Watchmen it's all about the journey and the worldbuilding and the characters, at least in my opinion; I liked it.

Like the next entry...
I read the first few issues when it came out, but lost interest. I appreciate what it has been to the genre, my dislike has been built much more by the many folks who've tried to convince me of its wonderfulness over the years. It's like being pestered by Sam-I-Am after I've already tried the eggs and ham.

The comic book serial plot that Ozymandias uses: nope.
The use of the characters and the depths which Moore took them apart was original for comics at that time as was how he took advantage of all the tricks that the comicbook storytelling provided.

you'd throw a lot of your manufacturing over to weapons development to fight an enemy that wasn't there. Just what the world would need. Loads of surplus weapons
The day after.

NO ONE (with few exceptions) likes war.....
"They" and "them", I presume, refers to conservatives as a whole. Generally, it's a bad idea to lump EVERYONE together like that.
Instead of painting with such a ridiculously broad brush, try using logic and reason, please.

I'm fairly sure that a war would not make Krugman happy.

You start first.
That's odd, that behavior reminds me of someone else's but I can't put my finger on it.

He's forgotten one very important difference between america today and the one that existed in the 1940s: We don't manufacture much here anymore so Rosy the Riveter would have to stay in the kitchen.
