Am I Missing Something?

Tom Cruise says plotting against Hitler in his latest movie Valkyrie fulfilled a childhood fantasy. "I've always wanted to kill Hitler. As a child, I used to wonder why someone didn't stand up and kill him," Cruise told reporters Sunday.

One bright summer morning when I was a kid I actually did attempt this. I bought a plane ticket to Germany, armed myself with a briefcase full of plastic explosives, and forged an identity card that would get me deep within the inner circles of the Nazi party.

Then I realized that Hitler had been dead for, oh, forty years, and I had a snowball fight instead.
