If you want a 2-hour run down of the current world situation you ought to watch Starship Troopers. I am not kidding. The film is about some bugs who are upset that humans have been interfering with them, so they send a meteor that hits planet earth and kills a huge number of people (read: September 11). Instead of considering that the bugs just want to be left alone without human interference, and working toward some kind of resolution to the problem, the Earth's government immediately launches a retaliation effort. The Earth's government expects the military to waltz in and eliminate the problem, but they underestimate the number, ability, and most importantly, the intelligence of the Arachnids (sounds like Iraqis doesn't it). The result is a lot bloodier and more terrible than expected. The film ends with the capture of one of the "brain bugs," or intelligent bug leaders. The troops are reinvigorated and confident, but the war is not over. Just before the credits roll, there is a propoganda commercial asking the audience to "join up" to help eliminate the Arachnid species. Yikes.

Special thanks to Roger Avary for calling this to my attention.
