It's Like This...

Iraq and Iran have been fighting each other for a long time; they are adversaries.



Up until 2001, it was in America's best interests to keep the two countries at odds over each other...which is why when one side became strong, we'd (meaning the US Military and US Intelligence Agencies) help the other out for balance.



Terrorists like Osama bin Laden (and his current #2, Ayman al-Zawahiri) are only sympathic to these nations as far as ethnicity is concerned. But overall, they are and have been against the two for:


  1. Siding/dealing with America; and

  2. Being too secular for bin Laden's liking.

It's sort of like the movie The Sum of All Fears, where a German Nazi sympathizer was trying to pit the United States against Russia. The GNS knew that because of the Cold War, there was still some bad blood between the US and Russia, and he figured that if he set of a bomb in the US, he could get them to attack and destroy (or severely weaken) on another.


Now take that previous paragragh. Delete the first sentence. In the second one, replace "GNS" with "Osama bin Laden," "the Cold War" with "9/11," "Russia" with "Iran," and "set a bomb in the US" with "use the occupation in Iraq to fan the flames of animosity."


Too many prominent politicians don't understand this simple reality. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why someone like John McCain should not be president.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
