Yes, the USA government need to make practical decisions every day. Things change. One day a friend may become an enemy. Sometimes the USA is at fault for things, sometimes they are not. However, we are not at all like the tirants you mentioned. Any comparisons to them I will leave for the fringe wackos.

In the 80's Saddam tests biological weapons on it's own people to see the effectiveness. The world turns a blind eye because there was a battle between Iran and Iraq, and after the hostage situation in 1979, in Iran, America and the world turned a blind eye to what atrocities he was doing against his innocent civilians. Since Iran was the enemy to the U.S., Saddam had a free ride. Then the U.S. is hit. (conspiracy). Then they turn on Saddam, who was used as additional support to fight agai... [ More ]

@JAP69: I feel *exactly* the same as you. In fact, that is why I am so passionate about these things. I feel like I have been double-crossed by people in the media, who I trusted to give me the facts straight. We are all taught growing up about journalists holding high standards, and being impartial. Then, to learn that it's all B.S. is like a sucker-punch to the gut.

You are right about the media and the news swaying people. I use to believe news media for what they said until I realized there are other options to get the facts on a subject. Always thought the news media and movie industry was unbiased until I learned otherwise.

I would agree that Reagan is one of the most popular presidents, but I would disagree about the potential impact of movies in today's culture. It is a visual medium, and human beings are visually-oriented learners. I am not "worked up" about it. I am expressing my concern, and sharing an important topic, so that others can understand what is going on. Blogs are a very important counter-balance to the extremely liberal mainstream media. It's how sane people get the real truth out there, an... [ More ]

I wouldn't get so worked up by it, Todd. Reagan was a very popular president. All said and done, I would say even more than Bill Clinton. They can make all the movies they want, it isn't going to change the facts or history in any way.

As I've stated before, it's easy to see how worried Hollywood liberals are by the crappy, liberal agenda-laced movies they spew. Lately, they've been pretty darn worried, from what I can make out.

The latest piece of garbage is "Charlie Wilson's War", a liberal love-fest that tries to create a connection between Ronald Reagan's support of Afghanistan rebels (against the Soviet Union's invasion/occupation of that country) and the 9/11 attacks on this country.

The problem is that no such connection exists.

Bin Laden created his fortune privately, and was not in Afghanistan at the time. In fact, he did not go to Afghanistan until Bill Clinton's presidency (right after Bill Clinton passed up the opportunity to sieze him).

The Washington Times had an article this morning which outlines the details, so I'll paste it below, along with the link to the article.

When I saw ads for this movie I was hopeful that it would actually be a pro-USA piece, given that our support of the Afghan rebels was an important factor in destroying the Soviet Union and it's relentless bent on world domination.

Most of the young Internet web-surfers did not live through that period (1980s) or were too young to know about it. They get their information (and form their opinion based upon) mainstream news media, fringe web sites, and liberal universities. God help them. They are being force-fed liberal doctrine that actually suggests that (a) the Soviet Union was a good thing, and (b) that the Reagan administration and their tough stance with the Soviet Union was somehow being the aggressor. How sad indeed!

I hope this gross distortion called "Charlie Wilson's War" is a complete dud at the box office. No doubt the Academy will try to give it some awards for so successfully making the Reagan administration look bad, but that would be par for the course.

The movie is so bad that Charlie Wilson himself had to plead with the producers to take some outright lies out of it.
