...Iowa, the evangelical appeal may be enough to carry him to victory, following the trail blazed by the televangelist Pat Robertson in 1988, who placed second in the Republican caucuses.

At minimum, the strategy is certain to define him against the rest of the Republican pack, which includes the son of a Navy admiral, John McCain, the son of a governor, Mitt Romney, and a wealthy big-city mayor...

...your countrymen are dying as a result. Even if the motive of a movie is to teach a moral lesson, it's not easy to stick to the facts and dramatize at the same time. It is not a simple issue of recruiting A-list actors and using emotional appeal. The great Iraq-war movie won't be appearing for quite some time, because for now it's just too close to reality. Viewers want to forget momentarily about bad things that are going on around them. Besides, they only have to switch on the TV or read the headlines...
