Movies that feature gorgeous actors removing their clothing, wielding weapons, and displaying moral compunction at the same time offer something for everyone, and Verhoeven knows it.

But as the sun started to wane, reality returned and, as is the unfortunate custom here, unsettling news started coming over the airwaves. A suicide bomber blew himself up as a deputy prime minister was walking out of a well-guarded mosque near his home on the edge of the fortified Green Zone in the middle of Baghdad. Salam al-Zubaie was struck in the chest by shrapnel and remains...
