I thought so and I felt you would think so, too. If you haven't, you should go to some of the links.

>US war movies are back on the scenes for the last number of years

I wouldn't know, I'm not a big movie fan these days. I'm not a prude but I was put off with all the explicit porn and violence. In SA there's too much violence in our daily lives so I don't want to watch more.

>This stomp around the world and kick ass attitude has turned my stomach for years. But, it seem young American's are buying it.

I guess that's been part of the "culture" since the good old days of Cowboys and Indians** with the posses and lynch mobs and where the cowboys were always the good guys and the Indians bad. In fact, listing to Dubya on his podium rousing support for his war against Saddam always reminds me of the Sheriff in those old movies. I'm sure he sees himself that way too and there's no doubt that he understands his audience and can anticipate their reaction.

** Today it's called Cowboys and Moslems.
