j'accuse

I would like to denounce the new movie The Alamo; in a time when America and Americans are under siege by terrorists and indifferent allies, the last thing we need is a movie that celebrates an event in which Americans fought and lost.  We must not glamorize defeat, and we must not propagate a culture of losing. Please join me in boycotting The Alamo. God bless.

If I'm not mistaken, the "culture of losing", i.e. martyrdom, is what turned the Palestinians into a culture of suicide in the first place. "Oh, look how persecuted we are! We invaded Israel on Yom Kippur, and lost anyway! NO FAIR!"

That is scarily accurate, IMHO.

I think you are confusing the Egyptians with the Palestinians?
