Osama

Yes, Osama is harrowing, moving, maddening and beautiful. One can see the Iranian-style's influence, so the fact that there was cross-fertilization of creative talents should come as no suprise.

But the stories around the story is worth thinking about, too:

The Taliban are "gone" but the rules and tactics remain in place in many places -- not just in Afghanistan, but in many other countries.

George W. liked this movie. Do you think he missed the point?
