This messy quarmire in Iraq could have been avoided if only someone in the White House had listened to what The Movies were telling us way back in early 2003. From my review of Tears of the Sun:

Can we just send Bruce Willis and Monica Bellucci to Iraq? Cuz then we'll know that the Right things will be done and that everything will turn out Okay in the short term and that Love will Shine in the eyes of the Beautiful and Noble brown people of Iraqi and, most importantly, that we won't have to deal with the possibly ugly aftermath of intervention because that all happens after the credits are over and the lights come up and we've gone home.
