...underwritten and underplayed by Tom Berenger). Lee's opposite number in the film's dramatic scheme is Colonel Chamberlain, commander of a ravaged regiment assigned to defend the Union flank on the hill known as Little Round Top. A college professor and, as played by Jeff Daniels, a soft-spoken humanist-idealist, he is democratic man at his best. And a commander of steely resolve.

...special focus of our regional strategy must be Pakistan, where terrorists today enjoy sanctuary. We must strengthen local tribes in the border areas who are willing to fight the foreign terrorists and convince Pakistanis that this is their war as much as it is ours. Senator Obama has spoken about taking unilateral military action in Pakistan. In trying to sound tough, he has made it harder for the people whose support we most need to provide it.
