Well, so HoD was about the Belgian Congo, but it was the inspiration for Apocolypse Now which, of course, took place in Vietnam. The general idea is that someone begins trying to do good, slowly utilizes more and more power to do good, but the power turns them evil. >From Wiki: "As the film continues, it becomes increasingly hallucinatory and unpredictable, to the point where Willard loses sight as to what he is supposed to be doing in the jungle, a clear and stated metaphor for what happened to the United States in Vietnam. Much like the novel on which it is based, many critics see the film's subtext as a journey into the darkness of the human psyche." And much like what US is doing in Iraq.
