AMERICAN SECRET AGENTS HELPING AL-QUADA!
Category: Media bias
I have watched a movie today. Granted it was fictional, allegedly.
It was based on facts. In it, american secret, undercover rogue agents (aka 'enemy combatants') were fighting a legitimate army of occupation, invited by the legitimate government to fight the insurgents.
The american agents were helping mujahadeen, holy warriors of Islam.
I was surprised how the american movie favourably painted the fanatical armed followers of Mohamad. The mujahadeen women and children were shown suffering terribly from the indiscriminate bombing of the legitimate army.
Terrorists were shown using sabotage and subterfuge to disrupt pacification activities designed to bring peace to the trouble land.
The occupying army naturally was concerned about these terrorists and was interrogating them to extract information that might stop further terrorist attacks.
Something that Bush, Blair and Howard all support. Yet the movie made the occupiers look like monsters. Typical hollywood leftist bias?
No, RAMBO III a movie accussed of being right-wing propaganda when it came out in 1988. The Islamic terrorist were fighting the Soviet army who was massacring the civilians in the name of restoring peace.
There are a few message that this movie carries today;
i) The enemy of your enemy is your friend, but may become your enemy.
ii) The enemy of your friend may become your friend.
iii) Given the above, when we kill enemies, we are killing our friends to be.
On the other hand, it was hilarious seeing Russians behave like Americans in Abu Ghabi and mowing down civilians in the name of peace whilst Rambo was expressing stone face outrage and the very actions we now justify as necessary.
