I don't see a real connection.

In Dune, the oppressed people revolted against the emperor and anyone else who oppressed them.

Seems natural enough. But, to compare Paul with Bin Wacko is a real stretch, as we are not oppressing the Arabs. We buy their product. We help them develop it.

This is a religious wacko attack and not a rebellion.

BTW, I was really looking forward to "Children of Dune" on Sci-Fi until I discovered to my dismay that Susan SaranWrap was in it.

I am afraid that Sci-Fi will have to do without me for this one.

The problem is that a significant number of them believe that we are oppressing them. In this context, perception trumps reality.

The Dino DeLaurentis production of Dune (McLachlan playing Paul)was not bad...has some great moments...but not that good either.

A well made Dune flick is long overdue and would be an excellent additon to my sci fi collection.
