I just got back from watching Tom Hank's new movie Charlie Wilson's War. Loved the quote which wrapped up the film, "Those things happened. They were glorious and they changed the world. And then we fucked up the endgame.".
It's a sad and bitterly sarcastic line, but it does make one think about our current situation. History repeats itself, especially for those that have not learned from previous mistakes.
It's amusing to me that the two recent movies I've watched Rush Hour 3 and Charlie Wilson's War (although different genera and style) both managed to jab America's hand in wars.
I wonder if this cycle of fighting will ever cease. Probably not. Everyone's got an agenda. Everyone wants to protect and defend. Each to their own and round and round we go.
