Despite the obvious expense of this production, it is an austere film, which has a little trouble, at its conclusion, trying to make some large generalizations about its meaning. It needn't have bothered. Its simple message is implicit in its actions--and its helpless inactions. There are reports that the political right, to whom Stone has long been an anathema, is trying to lay claim to the movie. But that is nonsense. What liberal would want to deny the compassion and courage of working-class heroes whom the left embraced, historically, long before the right? Very simply, World Trade...
...even with an implicit U.S. green light to keep fighting a while longer, a military-only strategy would be self-defeating for Israel. Carpet bombing Hizballah strongholds is impossible, says military spokesman Captain Mitch Pilcer, because "some of these Lebanese are our allies, and if they come back to a flattened town, they might turn around and join Hizballah."

...Even if, as they got older, girls did understand somehow what the vaccine was protecting them against, surely the messages parents send to them every day and over the years - about respect, responsibility, judgment and the boundaries of appropriate sexual behavior - count for more than the implicit suggestion of a single vaccine. MSNBC did an online poll asking: If you have a daughter under age 15, would you have her get the cervical cancer vaccine? Of more than 8000 responses, 80% said yes, while 5.4% said, "No. She's too young to worry about sexually transmitted diseases...
