Letters from Iwo Jima

I hope I will see the day when a film is made about the invasion of Iraq from the side of the resistance. It will mean that there is a lasting peace where each side can challenge the stereotypes of war. World War II was truly a "War Without Mercy". The Japanese Kamikaze are the modern ancestors of the suicide bombers. Only after 50 years are Americans ready to acknowledge that this was nobly dying for their country. Letters from Iwo Jima
pounds the message home that cruelty and also humanity are not linked only to the winning or the American side.
