It is the whale rider girl, that was a great movie by the way. Not an exceptional movie, but it was a great snapshot of a very different type of lifestyle in the new zealand (?)part of the world.

During periods of war with various countries it is normal to destroy their ability to produce weapons. No right thinking person would have a problem with destroying a factory which produced airplanes, bombs, ammunition, tanks, guns etc.

Now that we have a war with a religion driven army, why should we shy away from destroying their factories. Their weapons are the evil ideas generated by the scum sucking pigs that act as heads of their gutter religion. We know the buildings where these sub-human weapons are produced. If the governments of the world will not attack the factories of Islime what should the people of the world do?

A better antiwar video would be if the girl sees the attack, then protests the attack in her Arab neighborhood. She then discovers her brother was involved and after soul searching she turns him into the FBI. The FBI discover a plot by her brother and other Muslims from the local mosque to blow up the very school she attended. Her friends at the school are safe and alive and the girl feels good about her decision even though her Muslim neighbors drive her family away and burn down their business. In prison, her brother discovers that there is a true religion of peace called Christianity and converts. The girl is amazed by his conversion and the change in him, and is so disheartened by the hate of Muslims, that she becomes a Christian as well and returns to the Arab neighborhood to show others that hate is not the answer.

They kind of leave the ending up for debate at the end, but it is really reprehensible..

I can't figure out the ending. Is it showing that she changed her mind after envisioning blowing up the airport, or is it showing that there weren't any really ugly consequences for her for blowing it up?

I tend to think the former -- note how the camera positively portrays those in the airport (families, etc.)....

"Why does Prince expect an Arab to react that way? Make a music video about that, purple one."

Every single day I read the front page of the newspaper or turn on the television and hear about the hatred of Arab Muslims and all the destruction and death they cause. That is why people, Prince included, have that reaction. Fundamentalist Muslims need to stop their war on the rest of the world and moderate Muslims need to stop turning a blind eye to the cancer that is within their religion.

In an interview with his favorite musician (Prince), Bryant Gumbel asked him about his song "1999". He asked why most people thought it was a party song and not really a song about nuclear proliferation.

Prince's comments (summarizing):
"This country has too many bombs in the hands of the wrong people". (Um, that was Reagan at the time!) "They don't realize that we could all die from all the bombs that will be dropped. This could happen before we ever see 1999".

Needless to say, I've not thought too highly of him since.

Lyrics

1999

Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was Judgment Day
The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care
Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night
Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (Yeah, yeah)
People, let me tell U somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready 2 roar (Yeah)
Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day (Oh)
But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away
Oh, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!
(We're runnin' out of time)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we gonna, oh!)
Say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (No, no)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We're gonna, we gonna)
Alright, 1999
U say it, 1999
1999 (1999)
Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time! (Yeah, yeah)
So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999! (We gonna, we’re gonna)
Yeah, 1999 (1999)
Don't U wanna go? (1999)
Don't U wanna go? (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
Listen 2 what I'm tryin' 2 say
Everybody, everybody say party!
Come on now, U say it (Party!)
That's right, everybody say
(Party!) {repeat in BG}
Can't run from Revelation, no!
Sing it 4 your nation, y'all!
Dreamin' when U're singin’, baby!
Say the telephone a-ringin', mama, now!
Come on, come on, U say
Everybody, 2 times
Work it down 2 the ground, I’m sayin’
(Oh baby, say it again)
(Oh, shake your body, baby!)
That's right, come on, sing the song
That's right, everybody say
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say!
Ah, and he's ready 2 roar!
Yeah!
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb? {x2}
