j'accuse

[rone]

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.

actually, i'd have thought the concern would be a movie that glorified a war we were brought into partially by a bunch of filibusterers who thought absconding with part of mexico would be a Good Thing.

When we turn "victory" into defeat

as well as we have there, the parallel just gets more disturbing. Will Falluja be Dubya's (or should I say Halliburton's?) San Jacinto?
