...surrender unconditionally. Only then could the genocide be stopped and liberation secured. It was Hitler and his Nazi thugs who directed the Holocaust. It was the America Roosevelt led that destroyed them. As Simon Wiesenthal wrote, "At the time I was a prisoner in Mauthausen, my last concentration camp, the name Franklin Roosevelt was the hope for freedom for me and my fellow prisoners. For those of us who were liberated by the U.S. Army in May 1945, Franklin Roosevelt is truly the Man of the Century." WILLIAM J.

Despite a mammoth war chest and an (albeit fading) air of invincibility, George W. Bush still understands the famous Tip O'Neill edict: "All politics is local." In Dubya's case, as local as your PC.

While he tries to establish a distinction between active battle and quiet days at camp, each fade-out is one more step away from the film's chance to redeem itself with a coherent story line. Hints of Lee's genius as a director do show in his later battle scenes, where the rhythmic beating of horse hooves and the jarring sounds of gunfire conjure...
...James Schamus' screenplay might reflect the language of the Civil War, yet the dialogue is entirely self-important and melodrama destroys any stake the viewer might have in the plot. Lee wishes to establish the North as a human presence, so Roedel reads some found union letters to the camp. Similarly, Lee has Roedel and Chiles talk under the stars to emphasize the characters' brotherhood...
