I don't want to write about this today. The last war that was written about better than it was photographed was World War Two. The books Slaughterhouse Five and Williwaw are still better than any WWII movie ever made. Vietnam was sort of a tie: the unfortunately-titled book Chickenhawk is emotionally on about the same level as “Apocalypse Now”—but neither says as much as a photo of a little girl running down a street, of a man getting shot in the head, of one last helicopter lifting off. But nowadays, nothing written about the Gulf War, fiction or non, says as much about it as the film “Three Kings.”

In any case, here's to blue fingers.

"Hotel Rwanda" is a very powerful movie about the civil war and genocide in 1994 in Rwanda. Go see it Guy
