"This movie is adapted from a comic book published in 1988, it is set in england and it's general theme is that society must control government, not vice versa. It's not about Bush, it's not about the war in Iraq, and if you can't agree with it's general theme, how can you consider yourself a conservative? Not everything is a liberal conspiracy against Bush and when we constantly claim everything is, all it does is weaken our voice when they do do something bad. Conservatives have to stop crying wolf."

From review....".......including a giant poster of "the Coalition of the Willing," depicting the American and British flags surrounding a swastika."



Sounds like the Matrix Bros put an anti-Iraq war, anti-war on terror spin on this though if there are scenes of "coalition of the willing" showing NAZI flags along with American and British. Something stinks bad. I am a comic fan, I did not read the comic. But it sure sounds to me like its been warped and twisted to fit the leftists politics of today.

Was the koran scene in the comic too? Anyone recall from reading the original?

In the original comic, the USA and USSR supposedly nuked each other into oblivion. Great Britain, which had moved to a leftist stance, then had a reactionary move to the right, and a fascist regime took over.

Maybe the author thought this would eventually happen, but there is little doubt in my mind that the movie is going to take the gist of the novel and turn it into an anti-Coalition of the Willing statement. Otherwise, the comic book would have been filmed before now.

Remember, these days, Fascism=Hitler=Bush. Anybody who takes a geography class in Colorado knows that.
