...Butter Battle Book." The character detail was more meager, the backgrounds less vivid. Each of the later films was more didactic than artistic: decrying corporate greed and ecological devastation ("The Lorax"), indoctrinating children before they are born ("Hoober-bLoob"), delineating the madness of America's arms race with the Soviet Union. Of course the liberal in me, and the humanist too, cheer these sentiments and hope they stuck in the DNA of the kids who watched them.

The Bush Administration has been able to brand those who oppose their policies as unpatriotic, and that endangers the very essence...
...Artibonite Resistance Front, formerly known as Aristide's loyal Cannibal Army - is hardly the first foreign military force to get its hands on a stockpile of U.S. weapons. Here are some conflicts of the past few years that the U.S. has unwittingly armed. Afghanistan In the 1980s anti-Soviet mujahedin got Stinger missiles and Chinese-made AK-47s, later used by the anti-U.S. Taliban turkey Turks got 100 Black Hawk and Cobra helicopters from the U.S. before Gulf War I, and used them against the Kurds Colombia M-16s that the U.S. gave to the Colombian army...
