Well, I agree with you. This was the first time I'd seen it since the 70's.

It's point was to basically kill American soldiers with all their automated equipment, blow up Iraqi police stations with strap-on bombs pretending to be a policeman, and use God to manipulate people.

It was well done, but not my cup of tea. I don't need to be preached to in a way that endorses the killing of our troops in a nearly identical situation.

By the way, this thread discussed some of these concerns:

Wow are you wound tooooo tight. It's a Science Fiction show and had absolutely nothing to do with American Soldiers...you are just mad or looking for a fight. Look, I know there's enough Hollywood crap out there tryin ot brainwash the yutes of the country, but this isn't one of them. It shows soldiers in a great light and it sends message that fighting for your way of life is not a choice, it's a duty.

Did you notice that everyone else in the resistance condemned it? Did you know that of all the main characters on BSG, Col Tigh (the one who ordered the suicide bombings) is close to the least moral human there is? He's certainly the one with the worst decision making abilities, as was shown when he was in command after Cdr Adama got shot.

You are looking at the surface "humans=Iraqi terrorists," but you're used to the standard shallow fare of today. BSG is deeper.
