Lord of War…

September 22nd, 2005

Saw this movie last night… I struggled…

5 years ago I would've been fired up for this stuff, guns, bombs, missiles, tanks, you name it, it was in the movie…

Without giving the play by play, I would just say that this movie along with some other books I have read really makes me ask questions about our government. The movie brings up a good point of the ideas that gun-runners are actually politicians… I struggle with the fact we have a great relationship with the Saudi's and their oil, and one reason is that we've provided arms and they have provided crude and building contracts for us to send American companies over to build the facilities to process and transport the crude.

Opening quote from the movie… there are over 550 million guns in the world, that makes it 1 for every 12 people… The question isn't how to make that number smaller, its how to arm the other 11…

Its a blood curdling statement, but isnt it the truth?

Along with "Crash", this is the 2nd movie this week with no special effects, no fake technology, no wow factors other than reality… But in both movies, they are pretty unreal, but real when you think about them and how true they are… You just dont want to believe its true…
