And on another note, I saw a report on Fox News last night about Hollywood and the apparent lack of any Terror-War themed movies.

Seems there are NO plans in Tinsletown to produce ANY movies about the sacrifices and valorous work our troops are making in this worldwide conflict. As one director put it, "They regard Bush and John Ashcroft as more of a threat than Osama bin Laden". They don't want to produce ANYTHING that might show the President and the military in a positive light, and they consider this "Bush's war", and not theirs.

When you compare that to the movies made about WWII, and the number of stars who actually enlisted during that conflict and served honorably, it makes one physically sick...especially considering the fact that this war started with an unprovoked attack upon unarmed American civilians.

No wonder the only movies the American people seem to have any affection and warmth for at all right now are the "Lord Of The Rings" movies, which have studiously avoided anything political in their presentation.

I can fully understand them having concerns about a war .. everyone should question a war

BUT this is not Bush's war .. this is America's War against those that want to kill us.

Tinsletown may choose to side with not fighting back on terrorist and those that support terrorist

I will choose the side of American's ..

Actually the Lord Of The Rings movies contain lines that sometimes war is necessary to defeat evil. It's ironic because one of these lines is even spoken by one of the antiBush actors (others have expressed that they don't share his views).

And even the wretched stars of LOTR are "coming out" against the war.

I consider the Tolkien trilogy some of the finest writing of the 20th Century. And his was based on his wartime experience.

WHat you're seeing is the Hollywood Left's total experience about war - nothing. They can make movies only about what they've done - drug use, infidelity, crime. NEVER anything about honor or victory.
