...political ideas injected into the film, they sound out of place among the jokes. Moreover, there is small guarantee that little countries would be much better guardians of supernuclear power than big countries; if the world's nuclear weapons were buried in Lichtenstein, there soon would be few Lichtensteiners for all the foreign agents...
