Rambo as US foreign policy, etc.


Hey y'all,
The NYT movie critic A.O. Scott has a cool, little 3 minute video looking back at Rambo. Despite what Scott says, I still think it's wack that, in many ways, this mid-1980s film has come to reflect contemporary neo-con thinking regarding foreign policy. The final seen in this little video clip speaks volumes.

Also, am I the only one a little bit concerned that Obama is pushing a strategy for us to throw our military resources into full-scale war in Afghanistan and Pakistan? That plan certainly did wonderous things for the Soviets... Is Obama setting himself up for future failure?

Finally, for a few stellar guffaws, I highly recommend checking out several of these "Get Your War On" video clips. The comics are fabulous, and these cartoons are likewise grand.

Jah rule; rasta.
