As an avid moviegoer, I love nothing better than a good political thriller. Still, I am boycotting the newest Tom Clancy movie "The Sum of All Fears." While the Ben Affleck-Morgan Freeman vehicle might be a great summertime blockbuster, I refuse to see it because of a large, ugly plot change: The book's villains were Palestinian terrorists who gain access to a nuclear device, and the movie moguls magically transformed the villains into "neo-Fascists."

Late last year--and AFTER Sept.11th--Hollywood came out with the shoot-'em-up war movie, "Behind Ememy Lines". Just what we needed after Sept. 11th--except that the bad guys were Serbs!!!!

The this year, there was the Fox TV thriller "24". A great show--a spy thriller in real time, with a complex, unravelling plot. Except that, once again, the bad guys were Serbs!!!!

We Americans, just like Americans after Pearl Harbor--need shoot-'em-up war and spy movies in which--as in real life--the bad guys are muslims. We need video games in which we ourselves can shoot hordes of muslim terrorists, including Al Qaeda, KLA, Chechens, "Palestinians", and all the rest. And, above all, we need to STOP demonizing the Serbs!!!!

But what does "the industry" in Hollywood and New York give us? War movies and spy thrillers that go out of their way to whitewash the international islamic jihad, and to avoid "offending" or "commiting 'hate crimes' against muslims. Instead, they just keep picking on the "villains" that it is OK for the "politically correct" crowd to hate---the Serbs.

The whole thing is weakening our war effort against the islamic terrorists, and has GOT TO STOP!!!!

What's interesting is that there are non-Muslim terrorists in the world: The IRA, Basque separatists and, of course, the Shining Path.

I saw Blown Away with Tommy Lee Jones as an ex-IRA bomber as the villain. But I guess these terrorists won't get any play. After all, the Shining Path are Marxists, IIRC.
