Lord Of War

LORD OF WAR is the first great film of 2005.

Even this unreformed hawk felt compelled to pause and reflect on the consequence of war.

As liberals mugged by reality, we understand peace being sometimes morally inferior to even its infinitely immoral absence.

Consequently, we don't lament war nor even its horrifying outcomes as much as we do our human game -- the only game there is, alas -- where, sometimes, the logical choice is war.
