At one point an 'American' gunship cuts down a crowd of 'Iraqi' refugees, and then 'American' soldiers walk through the dead and dying men, women and children shooting the survivors at point blank range. Just read that again if you haven't watched the film and try to picture it.
The world badly needs a film and strong voice to condemn the actions this administration has taken and the way the war has been conducted. This scene though, defies words. I honestly just sat there, speechless. For those unfamiliar, in the real Iraq, Saddam used helicopter gunships to recreate this scene from the movie, though he did one better by using poison gas as well. The only thing that prevented this from continuing was the unilateral American act of war enforcing a no-fly zone over Northern Iraq. In the real Iraq, today, those same Kurdish people victimized as depicted in the movie, fight alongside the American forces as their staunchest allies. A movie scene instead showing American forces ruthlessly murdering civilians in this context just left my jaw on the floor in shock for the remainder of the movie.
