...never wanted a war. He blamed that and all his other crimes upon his victims, whom he described as "international Jewry and its helpers." Then Hitler left instructions for his body to be burned. By now the Red Army was fighting for the nearby Tiergarten and smashing westward along the Leipzigerstrasse, just one block south of the bunker...
Washington had no more than a grade-school education, but he had an early grasp of issues that would be crucial to America's future, such as westward expansion and the vexing matter of slavery. He eventually concluded that slavery must be abolished, though his own slaves were freed only after his death. He also understood precisely what his role in the new nation should be.

Torabi is an actual Afghan ?migr?; he and Enayatullah more or less play themselves on their westward adventure. Director Michael Winterbottom (Jude, Welcome to Sarajevo) went along for the ride, often improvising dialogue with people the boys met. At times the danger seems real: rifle fire at a Turkish border, captured on infrared film, comes perilously close to the two boys?and the crew. Did the film put the lads at risk? This is an expos? that occasionally smacks...
