I thought that letter home by Ms. Pedersen's (sp?) son, the last letter, before he was killed in his helicopter, was really a heartbreaker. I think that was one of the best parts of the movie. I think the contrast of the young men and women with pangs of conscience about what they were doing with the young men who were playing the rock music to inspire their attacks- and who seemed to have no notion of the toll on civilians, or the irony of killing the Iraqi civilians in order to "liberate" them- that was good stuff. And the scenes of the people in Baghdad, before the war, were very poignant. This wasn't the Congo, where people were eating the arms of their neighbors, this was a fairly functional country, where most of the people were living pretty well- if you compare them to many African countries. Damn it was a waste to invade them- a bitter, gut wrenching waste.
