Thanx for the link but I am so very afraid this will be yet another “Bad Arab” movie. The scene with the “Good American” solider handing out a piece of candy just makes me want to scream. It gets me thinking of all the tales about how some slave owners were “nice” to their slaves (Washington and Jefferson are at the top of my list).<\/p>\n
We are rulers of an empire. The Middle East is simply the latest and (so far) most capable area to rebel against their occupiers. Make no mistake, this movie is made by outsiders who need to justify their reasons for being over there. Colonization is a funny thing that way… the colonizers are always trying to show how much “Good” they bring to those they oppress.<\/p>\n
So nice to see a descendant of slaves as the lead ambassador of America’s Goodwill\u2122. [Did anyone else notice that after 9\/11 both Washington and Berry won Best Actor<\/a> \/ Best Actress<\/a> awards?] What better spokespeople than Black folk to show the world how benevolent the USA is.<\/p>\n Or, as the Martians say just before they blow everything up in Mars Attacks<\/a>: <\/p>\n We come in peace!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A friend writes: http:\/\/www.thekingdommovie.com\/ >Watch the preview.
