Will We Ever Have Peace?

"I think that war exerts a really powerful pull on people. War is one of the most profound, meaningful, intense, scary, exhilarating, horrifying, horrible experiences anybody can ever have. The thing nobody talks about when they talk about war, which is just so striking to me, is that a lot of men find it pleasurable.
And that's just the way it is."

-- Mark Boal, writer THE HURT LOCKER

See this movie, THE HURT LOCKER. Kathryn Bigelow made it (she of NEAR DARK, STRANGE DAYS). I hear it's terrific.
