I haven't seen the movie yet, but just the exposure to trailers, movie reviews,
family interviews, etc. have been enough to be upsetting. I was against the war
in Iraq before it began (I took my portable TV into work on the day that Shrub's "ultimatum" to
Hussein was ending- hoping and praying that the bombing would NOT start). I am not
an expert on the Middle East, but even I knew that the war would unleash a Pandora's box
of extremism and anger. I am so worried about what the U.S. has done in "revenge" for
the 9/11 attacks and its illogical attempt to use Iraq as part of its "war on terror."
And now, what has been accomplished? Terrorist attacks have increased in the world,
more innocent people (including Muslims) have died- and what do we have now?
"Mission accomplished?"
