I see a subtle but insidious message here...
One person interviewed by Chahine in the film reportedly remarks, "The U.S. and Israel are democracies, their governments are elected by their people - thus it is legitimate to attack their people."
Another zinger, a stroke of genius!
If this "logic" is taken at face value, we could never attack Iraq.
The hair-raising thing is, many doo-gooders see this as a perfectly moral and ethical position.
Scary.

But, if you take it to the next logical conclusion, then the pure unadultered assasination of thier leader would be acceptable to them, but not to some in this country.
Now that's scary
