3. Unlikely
there will be very much sympathy for the civilians. I'm sure they'll make the "bad" Iraqis very hateable, and the "good" Iraqis very cute and cuddly.

French who assisted the Patriots of the American Revolution. You know, foreigners who come to the aid of those wishing to fight for the right to exist without a puppet governance being pulled by colonial strings.

Harrison Ford signs for Iraq war film

Staff and agencies

Harrison Ford is to star in what will be Hollywood's first feature about the current Iraq war.

Producers Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher have bought the option for No True Glory: The Battle for Fallujah, a non-fiction written by Slate reporter Bing West.

The book is due to be published in May and tells the story of an assault on Iraqi insurgents in Falluja, from the perspective of US marines.

Variety reports that Ford is already attached to play General Jim Mattis, in charge of the attack. Shamberg and Sher's production company Double Feature has already been working with Ford on the medical drama For His Sick Kid, based on the novel by Geeta Anand.

It is probable that the film will strike a different tone to the only major feature about the US's previous war in Iraq, 1999's Three Kings, which told the story of a group of cynical, self-serving US soldiers. West's coverage of the war has tended to side with US troops.

15. I'm guessing he might
He did give $10,000 to the DNC in 2000, after all. Where there's a Dem, there's hope....
