Oh, spare us, Mojo! If the Americans weren't IN IRAQ IN THE FIRST PLACE there wouldn't BE any bombings.
It's like an article I read about Fallujah, Americans get blasted in Fallujah ... ergo, Americans must stay in Fallujah to ensure that they don't get blasted.
And, one other thing, it is A MOVIE. You know, as in fiction? If this 'proves' anything then The Lord of the Rings 'proves' that there are Hobbits with furry feet around, somewhere.
Come, now.
Kill ISF Bruno, Saddam was burying hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in mass graves.
True that if the US were not in Iraq there would be no bombings. Why would there be? Persecuted Iraqi Shia & Kurds do not bomb markets. If there was no invasion the Tikriti mafiosi would still be in power and they would not be bombing markets, and killings of Iraqi dissidents and their relatives would still be kept quiet and South Africans and Saudis would be happy.
But it didn't happen that way and Iraqi civilians are blamed for the presence of Americans in Iraq. As long as Americans are in Iraq, they might as well help and defuse the bombs that 3arab jarab plant.
'Saddam was burying hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in mass graves.'
He doesn't care.
'In one crucial scene, Renner's character, an outwardly cool and pragmatic but inwardly roiling staff sergeant named William James, must confront an Iraqi suicide bomber who wants out of his lethal mission.
"That was one of the toughest scenes for me," Renner said, pausing between sips of coffee and drags on a cigarette, " 'cause that broke my heart."
Abruptly Renner's voice froze, his eyes watered up, and a silence of several seconds ensued. He appeared to be 10,000 miles away from the fog-enshrouded garden of the Chateau Marmont. "I'm sorry, I don't know why it affects me so much, even now," the actor murmured, adding that he had broken down crying at the end of filming the scene. So had virtually the entire Jordan-based film crew, according to others who were on the set that day.
By several of their accounts, making "The Hurt Locker" was an obstacle course, exhilarating and enriching but lined with logistical and emotional booby traps. Rather than a "war movie" per se, the film is a superficially straightforward but exceptionally subtle entertainment about what makes the hard-wired human animal tick.
Although the film is fictional, it's based on extensive reportage by screenwriter Mark Boal, a journalist who was embedded with U.S. forces in Iraq. The movie's visceral challenges, from the brutal 125-degree heat (even hotter if you're encased in a protective bomb-disposal suit) to the cultural exoticism of the locale, were abundantly real, Renner said. That verisimilitude, along with the movie's calibrated adrenaline rushes, may help "The Hurt Locker" command a larger audience than most Iraq war-themed movies so far have done.'

Thanks, Mojo, for this post and your comments. It sounds like an awfully good movie. I look forward to seeing it.

[anand] "Saddam was burying hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in mass graves."
1: America was cool with that
2: There's some sort of retarded argument going around that if Saddam killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis* then it's OK for America to kill even more Iraqis with the help of the local driller-killers. It's not.
* The "hundreds of thousands" is a blanket term tossed around without a hell of a lot of evidence, it must be added. A rigorous study of the matter has not, to my knowledge, ever been done.

Oh my God, kill ISF Bruno now questions that his Baba Saddam committed a genocide!!!!! Oh my God! He really is a Baa3thi 
Saddam's own jarab admitted to killing 300,000 Iraqis in the south in April 1991 alone.
Bruno is a jackass who will forever be in denial, like so many jarab.

"Saddam's own jarab admitted to killing 300,000 Iraqis in the south in April 1991 alone."
Quotes?
The 300,000 number comes from an interview with an American woman who had been in touch with Kurdish leaders who had autonomy negotiations with Saddam's jarab.
Gotta watch the video:
