Review of CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR

CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR - STORY: During the Cold War, a Senator helps raise funds from Congress to arm Afghanistanis to fight Soviets in a secret war so that the Soviets don't gain a strategic military advantage.
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR - MESSAGE: Playing God in world politics can come back and kick you in the butt. Womanizing, shallow, influential people can be manipulated by sex and alcohol and attention and their faith to support military objectives. Corruption of the corrupt serves the corrupters. Today's solution may become tomorrow's problem. War is expensive. War is not the solution to the world's troubles. Corruption in government is hard to clean up. Dishonesty is good if it saves kids an the oppressed. Being sociable and likeable means having vices.
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR - WIN: A good demo that today's solution is tomorrow's problem. A good demonstration of manipulation by those who are covertly hostile towards Mankind.
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR - LOSE: There is no hint of the correct solutions. Religion is denigrated a weakness to be manipulated rather than a solution. Man is considered a soulless animal.
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR - EFFECT ON ME: It made me uncomfortable. It made me feel like someone was trying to get me to think a certain way, even though the logic was flawed. It tried to make me feel that right and wrong are impossible to determine as it is all rigged to failure anyway, and you can only be wrong. I disagree with this.
