Ignorance of History is No Excuse
This minifilm was terribly MILD. I was waiting to be, like, knocked off my feet with gruesome and horrible images straight from the war front.
But I'm a military historian by preference. I like to know all I can about war --- not just its effects, but its causes. And while the author ignores the causes in order to shock us with the effects, they are nothing compared to the horrors wrought by any single bomber raid on Cologne, circa 1943.
We who study and remember history know that the opponents of US involvement in Iraq are working overtime to make mountains out of molehills. In fact, this is the least bloody, least damaging, and fastest war of its scale in human history.
I would also note that all of the bloodshed in Fallujah could have been avoided but for the simple fact that the terrorists made their bases there, including several film sites of beheadings. Make a pact with the devil, and you get burnt.
