Just saw it last night and I am very hopeful that this movie will combat the F911 propoganda in the minds of our voting age youth and may have a positive effect for Bush.

I thought that the entire movie was a metaphor. Reading the reviews beforehand, they all said it was "equal opportunity" bashing of left right etc... but I definitely didn't see that. The only thing that could be considered "negative" from the Team America standpoint is that they were a little gung ho and not exactly the smartest group in the world.

As for the metaphors, they are cleanly summed up in a speech at the end of the movie:

Kim Jong Il = A****** = Evil in the world - yes there is evil in the world, they are building WMDs, are willing to kill innocent people as nec. and they must be confronted

F.A.G., Moore, Hans Blix, and the rest of the world = P*****s = Exactly who they are portraying - Sheep-like People who aren't willing to do anything to confront the Kim Jong Ils of the world and in fact blame Team America for the world's problems. It gets to the point that the hatred of these types becomes so intense that they become Kim Jong Il types (A*******'s)

Team America = D***s = America - Willing to confront evil in the world to make the world safer. Sure, we may relish in our role a little too much, and may cause some major league destruction of our own trying to get the job done, but we are the only thing standing between the evil and the sheep.

the best monlogue:

""There are three kinds of people in this world," Johnston says. "D***s, a******s and p*****s. We're d***s, and the rest of the world are p*****s. But sometimes an a****** comes along and wants to s*** all over everyone, and the only kind of person who can f*** an a****** is a d***, because p*****s are just an inch away from being a******s themselves." (Diplomatically, Johnston concedes, "Sometimes d***s f*** a******s at inappropriate times, and they need p*****s to guide them in the right direction.")
