...effort to limit warfare as well as a growing spirit of international community. As a French pilot remarked during the operation, "We don't want to bomb these bridges over the Danube or hurt the Serb people. They are our European brothers. And who will have to pay to rebuild the bridges?" The political constraints of Operation Allied Force and the preoccupation with avoiding casualties and risks were derived from its purpose--to support human rights and promote regional stability--and the fact that NATO member nations' survival interests were not at stake...
...irresponsible to suggest that Hizballah's holy war against Israel will diminish with Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon. The destruction of Israel has always been a major goal of Hizballah. Neither is it logical to assume that Israel's departure will give the Lebanese a chance to rebuild their nation.

This complex, heartbreaking film recounts the brutal struggle of one couple to survive. Oleg Menchikov plays a doctor, valuable to the state, who gets along by pretending to go along. Sandrine Bonnaire is his French-born wife, on whom the state visits its worst depredations. But East-West is more than their story; it is a great, gray epic of a society wasted and terrorized...
