I think so. I can't think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.
People who attack others need rationalizations for doing so. We undermine those rationalizations.
Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.
