BREAKING NEWS: "10:15 EDT Oil nationalism concerns U.S. military-FT The U.S. military's Southern Command has prepared an internal report obtained by the Financial Times, which reflects growing concern in the U.S. Administration that future supplies of oil from Latin America are at risk because of "resource nationalism." To date, Venezuela has doubled the level of taxes on oil production units from multinationals, Bolivia has nationalized its oil and gas fields, and Ecuador has seized several oilfields from Occidental Petroleum (OXY), the largest foreign oil company in the country. :theflyonthewall.com" What are you going to do Hawk? Attack and kill more innocent people because of your oil greed for your fix??? Or are you going to do the sane thing and figure out a way to lessen the demand on fossil fuels like starting by getting rid of that gas guzzling behemoth SUV of yours?

"Kim can't risk a shoot-down, and Bush doesn't particularly want to risk a miss..." Where have I seen this before? "The plot, the performances, the brutal series of events leading up to the final show down gun fights all contribute to a feeling one has that it truly is noon day with a relentless sun beating down. This is a Western which almost makes one smell the dust of the town streets. The sheer masculinity of Marshall Kane is beautifully balanced with superb feminine grace and strength found in Grace Kelly and Katy Jurado. Ian MacDonald's Frank Miller comes across as a villain par excellence. This is a perfect presentation for black and white. Color would have diminished the sense of impending death that builds relentlessly with each coward's refusal to help Marshal Kane. The film emphasizes that triumph often comes with a price. In the end, Kane removes his lawman's badge and throws it down into the dust, and he rides off with his Quaker bride who must forever live with the fact that she took a human life in violation of her religious convictions. Courage and valor do not come easily."
