Biting the hand that feeds you, to explain that idiom, there is no better example to use than the Afghans bombing the Americans. For the first time actually I have heard of a very reasonable explanation for the Afghan warriors trained and bank-rolled by the Americans turning against them. The director is quite direct in his explanation and I like his take on the issue. With a GMAT exam around the corner, the last thing I am going to do is go digging more about this movie, but I am quite happy that the selfish interests of the Americans has been highlighted.
Its always amusing to remember the Taleban was once American 'aides' but I never really wondered why they would want to hurt thier 'guardian angels. This movie has put one possible reason for us to think about.... will we have another Sam's war a few years down the road with the Iraqis perspective? Will we really get to know the real reason why Iraq was 'rescued'? You can't help but wonder....
