Compare titles: Dead Certain versus Triumph of the Will about Bush and Hitler respectively.


Triumph of the Will is a famous Nazi propaganda film that begins with the words “On September 5, 1934...." TODAY is the anniversary of that date. (The film continues, “20 years after the outbreak of the World War ... 16 years after the beginning of our suffering ... 19 months after the beginning of the German renaissance ... Adolf Hitler flew again to Nuremberg to review the columns of his faithful followers…")

Both of these titles involve a fallacy that these “men” and their followers fail to understand. Having resolve doesn’t necessarily translate to accomplishing something good . History shows that when resolve is combined with evil plans, there are genocides, wars of aggression, and massive destruction.

Of course in Bush’s case, little has actually been accomplished and the book should have been a parody.

1. Not even in the same league
Triumph of the will, to me, represents hardships in a fight, and a fight that can be lost if the 'will' fails.

Dead Certain, to me, means "we're going to win this thing, even if we don't know what it is we got ourselves into, but we're going to win it".

There's a hint of "doubt" in Triumph of the Will, when put up against "Dead Certain"
