Support the troops

As distant battle horns sound off, thousands of Persians arrows
race
through the golden sky towards the Spartans.

I finally got a chance to slip away and watch Frank Miller's 300 last night. I couldn't help but think of the war we are fighting today in Iraq. You know the one I am speaking of..."Bush's War"... "the war for oil". In the movie King Leonaidas takes 300 warriors to deal with a homeland security issue concerning hordes of Persians approaching. Leonaidas had his share of political opposition too but marched out of town to deal with a very real threat just the same.

The movie is drenched to the hilt in gore, so I wouldn't recommend taking you kids to see it.
