As I recall, their darling president Obama in a debate said the war should focus more on terrorists in Afghanistan and that we should get our troops out of Iraq.<br /><br />Do you have any thoughts on the movie Valkyrie? I just bought the DVD and frankly loved the movie. Though after watching it four or more times to figure out what was going I read some stuff online; people saying the German resistence is a myth.<br /><br />The failed attempt on Hitler by Stauffenberg seemed straightforward. The really interesting part was how Hitler's inner circle (the German resistence) were able to modify Operation Valkyrie to exclude the SS as being in control if Hitler was killed or otherwise out of commission.<br /><br />The Stauffenberg plan, according to the movie, was to convince the German Reserve Army that the SS killed Hitler as a coup to gain power.<br /><br />The theory was that the reserve army, who like many Germans were loyal to Hitler would be furious with the SS and battle against them.<br /><br /><br />Since the attempt to kill Hitler failed and a guy named Fromm refused to go along with the media reports of Hitler's death without confirmation nothing happened. Stauffenberg et al could have pulled it off were it not for Fromm instituting operation Valkyrie without confirmation of Hitler's death.<br /><br />Anyway, have you seen the movie?<br /><br />Another OT thought--I really didn't pay much attention to the whole Rachel Corrie thing until recently. The pictures are so staged it's unbelievable. Not just the two separate bulldozers taken earlier in the day, but the ones of Corrie once she was hit.<br /><br />In one picture Corrie is lying in a path of dirt with the bulldozer behind her. In another she's in front of a pile of what looks like straw.<br /><br />The ISM has taken their lead from the Arabs.<br /><br />More on topic--it is alarming that Muslims are funding MAJOR films in the US with extensive promotion. Miral will be devastating to Israelis.<br /><br />Where are the pro Israel film makers in the US to counter movies like Miral?<br /><br />Sorry for the lengthy comment.

"24" was a classic case in which, after one early season arc in which Muslims *were* involved, all subsequent ones showed Arabs and Muslims either as saps for the *real* folks behind the terror (inevitably white industrialists or government officials) or as heroes. Most recently, it was seen on ABC's "Castle" -generally a wonderful show - in which Syrian-American Muslims are framed for a planned dirty bomb attack by (wait for it) three US Special Forces guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-42197437860206309632011-03-10T06:40:15.930-05:002011-03-10T06:40:15.930-05:00I think the rot set in during the Vietnam war.

Even Reagan or a successful Gulf War I did not stop the rot.<br /><br />Thankfully, we are getting near the bottom. Once riots due to food shortages created by lack of cheap energy, coupled with expensive or lack of energy to keep warm, hits Joe Public, the worm will turn. <br /><br />Our politicians, you know those men of the people who keep their ears close to the ground and sense the mood of the people - well they are buying bomb and bullet proof cars on the taxpayers dime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-18051374880155827572011-03-09T16:30:26.238-05:002011-03-09T16:30:26.238-05:00Did the Allies commit war crimes? Did Allied troop...Did the Allies commit war crimes? Did Allied troops rape German and Japanese women and kill them point blank?<br /><br />Looking back we only talk about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and less about Dresden. We're still debating if it was necessary but the bottom line is that we don't spill much ink over it. History is already written. Apart from these three major events, we would never, ever consider the possibility that the Allies might have been war criminals too. This is a non-sequitur, we ignore it and we move on.<br /><br />We should treat this war the same. Yes, there are bad apples within our armies and they should be expunged. Some other times it's necessary to play rough since our opponents are more likely to understand force than anything else. But war is hell. These things have happened, are happening and will keep happening in wars. We did not start this war. We did not draw first blood. We should hold our troops to the idealized, high standards we do with the Allied powers.Westernistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-41565452268613745812011-03-09T11:29:31.068-05:002011-03-09T11:29:31.068-05:00Wow!

Actually there is. The Israeli film industry has been doing it against the IDF since 1981 - and much more ferociously than Hollywood.<br /><br />The omission: Since you mention the lack of enthusiasm from Hollywood for films about 9/11, I think it is very important to note that there has been plenty of enthusiasm from Hollywood for films about terrorism is which the terrorists are inevitably 'right-wing' whites, Eastern Europeans or basically anything but Muslims. Moreover, in most of these films there is inevitably either a Muslim who is the hero or a Muslim who turns out to be wrongly assumed to have been a terrorist. <br /><br />FlightpathMark Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634542433903164227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-68238786521722854092011-03-09T06:37:28.558-05:002011-03-09T06:37:28.558-05:00I believe you can add Jarhead to the list of films...I believe you can add <i>Jarhead</i> to the list of films that portray American soldiers as violent brutes, some of them bordering on mental disability. <br /><br /><i>"America is just another market to them"</i><br />I'd say that this would make companies pander to that market's views, rather than try to impose foreign ones on it, no? There's simply too much hate to attribute this cultural phenomena to economics alone.<br /><br />And it's how those 'citizens of the world' are actually just 'citizens of the upper-class world'.<br />They exist as a layer on top of the nations that they hate, and should these nations fall, their fate would not be much better.<br />Supporting Barbarians doesn't make you cosmopolitan.
