It will bomb. Nobody but the fringers will go to see a movie that portrays America as being a terrible nation.

I assume you mean "take as an example" rather than "actually watch the thing"?

That will be true in the US, but these days Hollywood is counting on overseas sales, and most likely, the Euro-weenies and all of the other assorted anti-American regions of the world will eat this stuff up.

I thought Three Kings was pretty good. The main premise, that we incited them to revolt and then didn't help them do it, was actually true. The best we did was airlift some of them out of there before Saddam could kill them. It showed everyday Iraqis in a true light, that they just wanted to live their lives, and it showed the brutality Saddam's people were capable of (remember the torture scene and summarily executing rebels). It also showed the stupid political environment we were under, as when the commander held up the refugees at the border. Remember, we were technically just there to free Kuwait, and weren't allowed to do all the good we wanted to.
