No - you are not going too far. If anything, you are guilty of not going far enough. I tire of the talking head mantra of not questioning their patriotism. I do question their patriotism as well as their loyalty to this country. By the way, I do not know who Ephialtes is.

Some time ago, another poster made a very persuasive argument - in my view - that President Bush should have had Congress declare war against all terrorist nations. Being officialy sanctioned, we could then jail the likes of Moore, Murtha, Sheehan, Clark, et al. We could shut down newpapers such as the LA and NY Times. We could move are military around with boldness and daring vice begging hat in hand to a timid Congress. Alas, as the President himself has said - there are no do-overs in real life.

Turbo - since I saw monsters and such in the trailer, I kind of realized it was not going to be a historically accurate account of the times.

Wow we could?!? To hell with the First Amendment eh? Lock 'em up and toss the key. You do know that is illegal don't you? I've never read 300 but seeing the helmet and then the number any student of history should know what it's based on (which outside of Vic Hansen land is not in any way related to the WOST)

Knowing it's Miller I know it would be a loose basing at best but because it's Miller I will be going to see it.
