A scholarly piece on anti-American sentiment and how this affects the post-modern constructive world

I went to see Syriana today and I enjoyed it(This is the first weekend its showing in England). I thought the film was rather good. I liked the characters and thought they were all realistic. The movie was a bit confusing at times but in the end it all made sense. When it comes out on DVD, I will be buying, which I think is the highest praise I can really give. I'm very glad that they name Clooney character had such a simple name, Bob. It made is a little easier to understand

Charles Krauthammer, a very conservative opinion columnist, who is very much of a gas bag(I have been agreeing with him a little more then normal though), wrote a op-ed yesterday in the post and the following sentence basically sums up his entire opinion piece

Most liberalism is angst- and guilt-ridden, seeing moral equivalence everywhere. "Syriana" is of a different species entirely -- a pathological variety that burns with the certainty of its malign anti-Americanism. Osama bin Laden could not have scripted this film with more conviction.

To say I disagree would be a correct statement. I don't believe the film is anti-American or puts America in a worse light then normal in international thriller films. There are characters that are bad but would I consider them to be evil? Well no, nobody is a total evil character. Each of them have redeeming characteristics, I believe. There no part in the film that shows that the CIA and the oil company are working together to kill off. Compared to some movies, the CIA actually comes off ok. They don't kill that many people and don't break that many laws. The movie, the Bourne idenity(Which I think is a great film), probably puts America is a far worse light then this film and I don't remember what-his-name writing a opinion article about that.

I have first hand post-positive evidence that it doesn't promote anti-American feeling because I asked my friend, who I went to see it with, if as a result of seeing the movie if she hated me and America more in general, she replied, just me. As a result we all happy that a english archtiuricture student has not increase her disliking of america because of the flim, it only made her dislike me more. In conclusion, DAMN YOU CLOONEY. The only part she didn't like about the film was George Clooney weight gain which I kinda agree with. Its not like anyone would be sitting and watching the film saying there something wrong here which I can't figure out. Oh that's it, George Clooney looks too skinny. He needs to add some more weight, and the movie would just improve so much
