Al Gore is right. It's a little hard to work up much sympathy for a bunch of people who are constantly trying to scam you. However, we should definitely think about sending the Nigerian Army to fight in Iraq since, as we see from this movie, they have superhuman endurance.

I give it *snap snap* two thumbs up!

Thanks, you saved me $10.

Plus, they don't sweat and stain the nice parade uniforms.

Saw it last night and am still trying to make out what it was mostly about. I guess there were many interesting truisms about the African situation that today's deliberately under-educated American youth would benefit from seeing.

Of course, the classroom commissars would have a coronary over some of it.

I knew he'd invented the Internet, but I had no idea he's also the brain behind FAX machines.

Astounding man; too bad he's unemployed.

Geez, Gladnick - I just caught that this review was by you. Didn't know you were writing pieces for Laissez Faire.

Good stuff!

I saw the movie Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. To each his own.

Hey, I liked it, my wife liked it and my wife's girlfriend liked it. Both gals did not know Monica B., but I did!

Besides, a lot of good marathoners come out of Nigeria! :)

Speaking of hacking with a machete, there was an awful lot of that in Tears of the Sun. A priest and the nuns who provided medical care to a Nigerian village were brutally hacked to pieces by Nigerian soldiers. Just as they are about to be chopped up, suddenly they start to act terrified. This was in stark contrast to just a few hours earlier when the Navy SEALS gave them the opportunity to be airlifted out of that hellhole. Back then, they bravely stated they would remain in the village to care for the inhabitants. Big mistake. Not only did they get chopped up but all the villagers were similarly slaughtered as well. So let me give all you priests and nuns (and everybody else) in Africa a little piece of advice. When Navy SEALS drop into your village to airvac you out, don't pull the hero routine since it ain't going to keep the villagers from being slaughtered in the long run.

Of course! Everyone knows that in reality, it was Colonel Erulin and his fellow *surrender monkeys* of the French Foreign Legion's 2eme Regiment Parachutiste went into the former Congolese mining town of Kolwezi during Operation Leopard/Bonito in 1978, while the American Ranger unit sat with their packs at Georgia's Hunter Airfield waiting for President Carter to give the orders that never came.

Fortunately for the 2000+ hostages, including several American citizens, the French Foreign Legion got the job done, at a cost of the deaths of five of their own, including one British-born Legionaire. And at least one of those American Rangers who through no fault of their own sat the fight out found an appropriate way to offer his own appreciation of the abilities of the Legion Paras: he resigned his commission as an American officer and joined the Foreign legion as an enlisted man in 1984. Seven years later, when US troops who'd made contact tried their high school French on a senior NCO of a Foreign Legion armored Cavelty unit they were stationed near, they were met with a reply of *Wow, you guys speak really lousy French. How about we try English, instead.*

This is from the Onion, right? Al Bore is not really reviewing movies, right? Please tell me that no news service is stupid enough to hire this man to do anything except sell the newspapers.

I really liked this movie. I do get several nigerian-email-scams a month. scary how evil some men are and what lengths they will go to to increase their power.
