Three situations evolve simultaneously: a professor tries to imbue a student with civic spirit, a senator tries to coopt a journalist into a military strategy devised by him, and two soldiers in Afghanistan are dropped in a region infested by enemies.
Or: 'Liberalism for Dummies'. To call this film preachy would be an understatement; as a matter of fact, I do not see any dramatic entanglement and disentanglement in it. The screenwriter practically speaks through the mouth of the 'professor' character (no wonder the director took this role for himself). The film's 'points' are hard to determine, given the lame way in which they are delivered. If you want the simple truth about the Iraq war, see No End in Sight (I have yet to see it in its entirety, but what I saw is staggering enough).
