"Saw a sneak preview of A Mighty Heart last night.I know the story. It's a true story. It broke my heart at the time. I was reminded of that sadness last night. What a waste. How horrible.It was well done. Different than movies I have seen... there was a quality of uniqueness to the movie that I quite liked. Angelina Jolie absolutely inhabited her character. In a thrilling way. I love her anyway though.It was a very tense movie. So much so that any tiny amusement that popped up brought forth comic-relief laughter from the audience.

I wouldn't recommend it, because of that, except that the genocide is still going on, now, as I type. Yes, genocide. The U. S. concluded that genocide was taking place over 2 years ago. It's still going on. This is the second Holocost. It really is. Almost 2 million have died so far. I wonder how many more will die before somebody ~anybody~ in the world reacts in such a way as to stop it.Brian Steidle, the ex-marine, said, at the end, that he had had it all lined up to retire at age 35. House all paid for, money in the bank, he had in mind that he would spend his days sailing the world. But, no more. That isn't going to happen for ... " [More]
