But anyway, not many countries if any can say that they have had no history of violence and war in their making. The countries deemed civilized in Asia (Japan and china) Western Europe (Germany, Great Brittian, France, Spain and the surrounding smaller countries) and North America (Us,Canada) ALL have been involved in wars. In every one of us resides blood that comes from the decendant of a soldier probably, Black, White, Asian, Persian (arab) know that your forefathers killed for land, wealth and power.

that being said the only argument is what we do NOW. I would love a world where everyone got along, where everyone thought of the greater good and worked for it, but it aint gonna happen, there will be war because the few leaders of the many will wage them for pretty much the same things they have always had them for, our need for those things have not changed so why would the way that we go about getting them?

I have not seen the movie and probably will not. If I was an actor and they wanted me in it, if I could not see an clear and underlying message that this actually happened as the script said or that it was obvious it was ficticious with the point being to make the actions of others seem so horrorible, so disgusting and vile that every one who saw it left wanting there to be peace then I would never do it.

If the movie even closely resembled a smear campaign against America or its allies, if it seemed like it would do nothing more than anger volitile people to the point of commiting attocities of their own, there would be no amount of money that would get me to sign my name to it, there are better ways to make money and I am not hurting that bad for it and never will be.

This is differant than a movie like Roots, Tora, Tora, Tora, Full Metal Jacket or movies about WWII or any western made movies about bad situations in society. When Roots came black people did not go out and bomb an embassy now did they? Maybe there is something to be said about how the "civilized" world reacts to popular media, how they look at it, learn from it, educate the future generations on it and move towards not repeating it. I am not going to go as far as to call the middle east uncivilized, but it seems that the few leaders of violent groups can not handle viewing materials without acting violently on them.

With this in mind I have to ask why would anyone put out such a volitile work after the reaction to something as non moving as a cartoon? I am not saying bury your head in the sand, I am just saying have some forethought in what you do, your duty as a member of society to do what you can to help and not hurt. I just hope this is not as bad as it may be, even though it would not take much to cause a problem with certain individuals
