Funny that the Movie is called "Munich" since, until about 20 years ago, the very word "Munich" was a synonym for appeasement of evil-doers and moral equivalency, the result of Chamberlain's famous "scrap of paper" in which Hitler promised, in Chamberlain's words, "Peace in our time." Is Speilberg aware of the background of "Munich?

Side note: I was a young Army medic stationed in Germany in 1972 and went to the Olympics for 3 days just before the terrorists' raid on the Olympic Village. My buddy and I schemed for awhile about sneaking into the village, but thought better of it. Since then, I've wondered "who else was sitting outside that fence, casing the situation along with us?"
