Puppies are the Cuteness

[dlgood]

Have been busy at work, and thus, not very present on LJ. The congressional committees are gearing up for the defense authorization hearings and as such, we have much preparation to do for shipbuilding programs. Oscars were awarded to films I did not see. Kirby Puckett died. Maryland actually won a few basketball games.

So I shall take a momentary break to remind you all that puppies are very cute, and they make me happy. Here's a photo of Sofie, the parentals' five month old miniature schnauzer.


And I've linked this pic to a larger version. She's such a sweetie. Affectionate, and remarkably well behaved for a spunky terrier. Super cute!

Those are the 2 I haven't seen! What did you think of Munich? I seen some reviews that make it appear that Speilberg feels Isreal is just asguilt as the terrorists, so I'm curious as to your take.

Most of the places I've seen that argument, are people with agendas.
There's no element that ever says the terrorists were justified in what they did. And they don't equate...

What you have, is a debate within the film over whether it's justified what they're doing. And whether all the murder and blood is ever going to really do anyone any good. It's not answered. And it is a film that shows both the Israelis and the Palestinians as people who have existences beyond just fighting and dying.

Where it inflames, is even showing that debate within Israel at all. On the right, in the US and Israel, people don't like to question... there were people living there, and to make Israel ... it took a lot of blood. And this is a movie that has a conscience about that. My grandparents generation didn't. The Charles Krauthammer's of the world don't, either.
