I didn't write that *SPR* was the only film -- war or otherwise related -- made during the Clinton years. And then, you're stating that Clinton was absolutely on the "Left"? Or, on the "incorrect"? So, you tell us: Why are you reading (I don't recite emails, by the way) absolutes when one single sole lone example is provided? I read over the exchanges by REVCOAL and others about what was popular when and decided to stay out of that one (for example, movies, books, TV shows, &c about spies [the Cold War soldiers] were VEWY populah during the 50ies, 60ies, 70ies, 80ies)(so much for absolutes, eh?). One of a multitude of examples is NOT an absolute; it is ONE example. The only absolute about movies is what is released to make money for the industry. I have an idea about how they do this (kinda like toothpaste marketing) but I'm not gonna delve into that business. By the way, the real point about this movie was (in a more wordy post): > Unfortunately, Gibson's war efforts Iin film making) are more > about the horrors of war than the "patriotic" thrill people get out > of them. This was one of the conerns about "We Were(n't) > Soldiers", namely how it would conflict with the upsurge > "patriotic" (warmonging) fervour after Sept 11th. Absolved.
